- God Save this Honorable Court: How the Choice of Supreme Court Justices Shapes Our History by Lawrence H. Tribe (brilliant scholar in the Harvard Law school)
- Gone for Soldiers: A Novel of the Mexican War by Jeff Shaara (I read him and his dad)
- We were Dreamers by Jim Lehrer (ex-columnist turned novelist)
- The Whore's Child and Other Stories and Empire Falls, both by Richard Russo (the latter I already read, but the opportunity for a first edition was too much to pass up)
- Rabbit at Rest by John Updike
- Ford County: Stories by John Grisham (he spins a great yarn)
- The Last Judgement by Iain Pears (already read it..first edition)
- Pet Sematary and The Green Mile Part 2: The Mouse on the Mile by Stephen King (I have been reading him forever and continue to add first editions to the collection)
- Zero History by William Gibson (I never understand him, but continue to read his stuff)
- The Echo of Greece by Edith Hamilton (she is almost as cool as Joseph Campbell)
- Good Enough to Dream by Roger Kahn (I never pass up a chance to read about baseball, especially during the summer)
- True Notebooks by Mark Salzman (another first edition and another author I love)
- The Eight by Katherine Neville (I loved this book when I read it over 10 years ago)
- Nixon: The Education of a Politician 1913–1962 by Stephen E. Ambrose (he brings history to life for a lot of people, and I have been wanting to read this one for a while now)
- I Love You, Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle (any book with endorsements from Tom Perrotta and Dave Barry must be good)
- The Goldy Shuffle: The Bill Goldsworthy Story by Richard Rainbolt and Ralph Turtinen (he was a Minnesota North Star...'buff said)
I also picked up a couple of the Norton Critical Editions and Scribners, as well as five green Penguin books that I collect.
Not a bad outing at all.
