My friend knows my love of Alexandre Dumas so picked up for me some beautiful hardcovers she discovered! They were all published in 1894 so these particular editions aren't in GR yet but the titles are:

The She-Wolves of Machecoul, Vol. 1 of 2: To Which Is Added, the Corsican Brothers
The She-Wolves of Machecoul; The Corsican Brothers Vol. 2
La Dame de Monsoreau. Volume 1
La Dame de Monsoreau, Vol. 2
The Page of the Duke of Savoy, Vol. I

I'm so in love with them! :)

They're beautiful books! The pages are all uneven, so they look so unique. A little brown at the edges but I love them for their age. :)

Just acquired Focus by Arthur Miller

This novel was written in 1945 - I love Arthur Miller's plays and never even realised he had written a novel until it was mentioned by one of the characters in a Philip Roth novel! Really looking forward to reading this one!!

That's funny Kim! A well read character indeed!
