Hi all,
 
FYI, I went to the monthly used book sale this afternoon and concentrated on 
classic (and some not-quite-so-classic) authors.  I found:
Benet, Western Star
Browning, Sonnets from the Portuguese
Caldwell, Glory and the Lightning
Camus, The Plague
Cheever, Bullet Park
Coleridge, Selected Poetry and Prose
Collette, The Tender Shoot and Other Stories
Eco, The Island of the Day Before
Eliot, Daniel Deronda
Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night
Forster, Maurice
Frost, You Come Too
Galsworthy, Swan Song
Greene, Travels with my Aunt
Huxley Aldous, Point Counter Point
Huxley Aldous, Island
Kafka, Selected Short Stories
Mann, Confessions of Felix Krull Confidence Man
Mann, Joseph the Provider
Matthiessen, Killing Mister Watson
Maugham, The Mixture as Before
Maugham, The Razor's Edge
Russell, A History of Western Philosophy
Shute, Pastoral
Sinclair, World's End
Thomas, Adventures in the Skin Trade
Thomas, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog
Turgenev, Fathers and Sons
Turgenev, On the Eve
Updike, Brazil
Updike, The Coup
Yevtushenko, Selected Poems
 
and a few compilations:
14 Great Short Stories By Soviet Authors
Familiar Faces: Best Contemporary American Short Stories
Six Centuries of Great Poetry
 
and a few other misc books:
Israel: Years of Challenge by Ben-Gurion
A Treasury of Comfort edited by Rabbi Sidney Greenberg
Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Paris by Paul Gallico
Thomasina by Paul Gallico
The Horse's Mouth by Joyce Cary (one of my favorite movies)
The Arthritis Helpbook
6 Minutes a Day to Perfect Spelling
Who What When Where Why In the World of Literature (a quiz book)
La Muerte en Venecia by Thomas Mann (Spanish version of A Death in Venice)
 
The Higher Taste: A Guide to Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking and a Karma-Free Diet 
(actually given to me by a Hare Krishna in New Orleans a few days ago)
 
I'll take these into the office on Thursday, but I'm not sure when I'll be able 
to chop, scan, OCR and submit them.  Will try to submit them within a few weeks.
 
Carrie
