I am not surprised by the price tag you spent on books. I love University press books. Book that are not found in Barns and Noble. These books open up new ways of thinking and topics you just can’t find elsewhere. I too have an anti-library or reference. I have had people comment that what I am reading is pretentious. Yet, these are the books that allow me to think outside of the box when I assist others on performing research. One odd topic may give me the idea to look down a different avenue of thought. Bravo on your acquisition. And thank you for the insightful article.
