Just bought the 28 book set of the civil war published by time life, they're hardback and in perfect shape. I got them for $150 at a flea market, and after googling them online didn't see a price that cheap. I purchased them because I love having complete series of books (I just got the complete set of history of civilization by will durant a week ago), I love history, and my grandfather left me the complete set of the time life WWII books. Also, I have just plowed through a song of ice and fire, and the boyfriend of the previous poster will love them. However, I am definitely in need of some non-fiction after five straight fantasy books; luckily I just replenished my supply

Shakuntala and Other Writings by Kalidasa. I don't know any other book that has those translations of his epic poems The Birth of the War God or The Dynasty of Raghu, plus it comes with two minor plays and other epic poems I've already read but didn't own.

linear algebra, 2nd edition, by Michael O'Nan. Had to get it in a used book store. I was working on a problem that required the use of matrices and I needed to review the theory. Since this was the text I used in college and knew it had what I needed, I hunted around for it rather than just picking up any of the other more easily available texts...$6...

Co. Aytch, A Side Show of the Big Show, by Sam R. Watkins.
It's a fascinating first-person account of the American Civil War from the perspective of a private soldier in the Confederate Army (Company H of the 1st Tennessee).
