Recent Acquisitons

It’s been about a year and a half since I last posted my list of recent acquisitions. My household has not remained unaffected by the recession, consequently the acquisition of books into my personal library has considerably slowed. Nonetheless, 591 books now comprise my Civil War Nonfiction library, while I now own 96 Civil War novels.
