My bookish bounty from Ithaca’s Buffalo Street Books and Autumn Leaves Used Books.

Three of the books from Buffalo Street Books (aka, my new favorite bookstore!) came from their Recommended Picks shelf, each with a 10% discount. Fool on the Hill by Matt Ruff came from Autumn Leaves, a 1st printing of the original hardcover version of one of my all-time favorite novels; first time I’ve ever paid more than cover price for a book that wasn’t a comic or graphic novel!
