International Literary Market Place 2011 (070.50254 International)
Dictionary of the Bible, 2nd ed. (220.3 Dictionary)
The Statesman's Yearbook 2011 (305 Statesman)
TheStreet Ratings' Guide to Stock Mutual Funds (332 TheStreet)
And, probably the most important reference item we've received in years:
Pirates of the Americas (910.45 Marley, 2 volumes!!) Resplendent with its color reproduction of the great
Howard Pyle's illustration of Captain Kidd from
The Ruby of Kishmoor (nice, but I might have gone with another of his paintings, or something from N.C. Wyeth's illustrations from
1911 edition of
Treasure Island),
Pirates of the Americas "offers hundreds of entries on the most famous - and infamous - buccaneers of the 1600s and 1700s, separating fact from fancy as it describes the men, their exploits, and the era in which they prowled the seas of North and Central America."
Includes more than 500 alphabetical entries; brief chronological timeline of events at the end of each volume; 48 images of ships, harbors and maps; select bibliography and glossary at the end of each volume; and a comprehensive index.
Enjoy, me hearties.
