I spent some of my credit at the used bookstore:

Just So Stories, Kipling (nice hardbound to replace the pb. My dad used to read these to me)
St Trinian's - The Entire Apalling Business with the complete drawings, Ronald Searle
The Pillow Book of Sei Sonagon, tran. and edit by Ivan Morris
Haw! Horrible, Horrible Cartoons, Ivan Brunetti (and he's not kidding. sample: living room with dad, mom, kid, and parrot, with parrot saying "RRAWWK Please don't touch me there, Daddy...RRAWWK It hurts, Daddy, it hurts... RRAWWK It's too big... RRRAWWWK")
The Dead of the House, Hannah Green
The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins (so I can talk about it with everybody who's finishing the third one)
La Dolche Musto, Michael Musto (columns from the Village Voice; I used to love his reviews in Details mag when it was a fashion mag. I wish somebody would reprint those)
The Ganzfeld #2 arty magazine
Eloise in Paris, Kay Thompson (I never had these as a kid and decided I would get them - love love love the Hillary Knight illustrations)
Napa City & County Portfolio & Directory This is the find of the day. It's a city directory from 1908 with photographs of towns in Napa county, including strips of photos of streets showing each business with their owners in front of them. $30 and worth every penny.
