I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Which I didn't have at hand when I originally posted. The first is thirty, the second is out of print, but from D.A.P. I'm guessing it was forty or fifty. One site says out print, and gives the list price as seventy-five dollars.
So I saved about four hundred dollars by waiting until the two dollar clearance sale!
I'm very, very happy with what I got today. Now to stick to the plan and get a couple ARCs knocked out, after I finish this one that I'm reading for feedback. (Which I was trying to finish two days ago. I just think so differently with feedback that it ends up draining my energy. I'm super analytical when I do things like this, though.)
