That's still an impressive haul in my books. I don't think I've bought more than 10 books in one go before and it has been many a while since I've managed that.
ReplyDeleteWell...yes. I can't say that 59 books is meager. My particular disappointment is with the lack of pocket-size books (like the Ambler towards the top). I love those and have found more in years past.
