Books, books, books!
Went to the Lifeline Bookfest (massive secondhand book sale in the convention centre) this afternoon with ittykat, katrina_splat, zenni, and sir_cumspect. For a grand total of $42 I acquired the following:
Driving Blind by Ray Bradbury
High Society by Ben Elton
The Lady and the Unicorn by Isolde Martin
Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier
Aurealis #27/28 (Australian SF&F periodical with short stories)
Stories for Girls edited by Leonard Gribble (first published 1961, titles varying from 'The Kitten's Garden' to 'Holiday with a Thief'. Also, how awesome a name is Leonard Gribble?)
Adam Bede by George Eliot (old children's edition, but appears unabridged)
Torchon Lace for Today by Jennifer Fisher
Two vintage Semco tatting pattern booklets
That's four novels, three anthologies (counting the Aurealis issue), a craft book, and two pattern booklets. Not a bad haul at all.
