Some Good Books

Today, I found some great deals on some great books that are now part of my personal library. How great of a deal? Well, $39 for all of the following 15 books. That's pretty amazing since the brand new set of The Encyclopedia of Judaism I picked up for $22 is currently selling for around $650.00 on Amazon. So, I guess I'll just consider these a happy 9th anniversary gift to myself! Here they are:
