Not pictured: the second volume of My Favorite Thing is Monsters, which I wasn't going to buy because it's a beast to haul. But then I literally spotted the Fantagraphics store from the bus on my way to the Museum of Flight (which is awesome, btw) and it just seemed like a sign.

Also, note the third book from the top: apparently there are multiple Sanditon completions (since the original fragment is long out of copyright). This one is from 1974 and by someone called Marie Dobbs (credited as "Another Lady"). I am morbidly curious about the result.

I read it years ago. I thought it was well done in Austen’s style. As much as it could be, of course.

Nice! Notes From a Regicide by Isaac Fellman keeps calling me, by I don’t know if I’d like it. Lots of strong recommendations.
