You know, if you want the pretty pretty matching bindings for your shelves, then that's ok.

But if you just want to read the books, they are pretty much all out of copyright and available CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP on places like abebooks.com.

Hee, I think you're cute when you're pining after books. (I do that too sometimes.)

*browses through site* Their nature section is totally missing Aldo Leopold. Hmm, I do kind of want to read John Muir, though. I mean, look at this: Stickeen (1909), Muir's most popular book, is the affectionate story of his adventure with a dog in Alaska. Would I love that or would I love it?

Somewhat relatedly, have you seen Librivox? It's an archive for audiobooks of out-of-copyright books and other writings, read by volunteers. It is deeply cool. They seem to have various US historical documents, for example. Aha, and I now see that they have the Muir book I wanted to read. *downloads*

I just want to point out that you're a dork in the best possible way!
