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 They seem to have various US historical documents, for example.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*
