Lucky again with books....

We went to the Friends of the College of the Desert Library Book Sale Friday and got quite a haul!  Then to Rancho Mirage Library and Jim got more books in the Book Nook.  I also picked up the DVD of Louise Penny's first novel,  "Still Life".  We watched it last night.  It was certainly interesting to see but it didn't really capture the characters very well.  Perhaps that's why there aren't other film adaptations of her novels.

Jim finding treasures at the College of the Desert Library Bookstall.  Of course he would be looking at the "Classics"...

Then to Rancho Mirage Library.  They are making great progress on the observatory.  It looks like there will be two telescopes.  It should be finished this April.  It's going to be so great having this and I know there will be lots of associated educational programs.

I just love this library!  This is the statue of "The Little Bookworm".

Our treasures.  Of course we have editions of all of Jane Austen and Graham Green and others but Jim liked these editions.  

Jim was really pleased to get "South Wind" by an author who was a friend of Huxley's.  It's in this cool slipcover and has lots of interesting illustrations.

These are my treasures along with "How to think like Leonardo Da Vinci"...had some cool stuff in it.
I can't wait to read McCall Smith's "Corduroy Mansions".  A new series I wasn't familiar with....takes place in London and involves a dog.
