So, I love to buy books. And even though I've cut way back I still buy them at the rate of about a book a month. Try to balance this by giving away or otherwise parting with books that have been on my shelves a while and are easy to replace, unlikely for me to use in any project I'm likely to work on at this stage, or that I've had for years without reading yet.
Here's a list of my most recent book buys, starting from around the beginning of this year, with two more on the way.*
Now to find their proper place of where each shd go on the shelves.
