I decided to go ahead and have a second list posted today, to polish off all the rest of the books in the house before starting in on Tolkien (for which September seems an appropriate month: Bilbo and Frodo's birthday, and the beginning of Frodo's journey). Several belong in other lists, like the Peanuts book and The Annotated Wind In The Willows, but were only recently got. Most were discounts and bargains; one (the John Howe) was a very welcome birthday gift. I love the picture of the lady and her pet turkey on the John Ford book.


Book Count: 1575.

I dig the turkey, too. How many versions of that "Nightmare" painting are there? This one looks different than I remember.
