* Read this as a kid. Loved it. Always wanted a copy of my very own...
** Must find the earlier ones in the series and read them first.
*** According to imbri6, this series was the basis for the TV show Bones.
**** Because I ought to get in touch with my German heritage, and also I should read more classics.
I also bought three volumes of the Time/Life Mysteries of the Unknown series for Jim. Turns out he already had them.
For 27 books at $50 total, this works out to under $2 a book. Not bad, especially for mostly hardcover.
And now for the big question: What should I read first?
