10.14.07 book haul

Yesterday, i hit a couple of bookstores in the French Quarter. It wasn't a deep trawl, just a hit and run. Someone must have dumped all of his Ismail Kadare, as i found three (one of which i already had, two of which i've already ready.) Only Doruntine was a "new" book.

The other notable find was Alexander Theroux's Darconville's Cat. Bill has been urging me to read it for a couple of years now. Accidentally, i wound up with some kind of a fake first edition. According to Bill, the real first edition has a single page that is filled with a dot matrix checkerboard, but the smaller run has a single black page. The one bought yesterday has the single black page.
