| | | Made Out Well at Half-Price Books Today
I wen to Half-Price Books today and got all of the following for $35 (after taxes!):
1. A Six Volume set of Matthew Henry's Commentaries (Hendrickson, 1991)
2. Theology of Prayer by B.M. Palmer (Sprinkle Publications)
3. Thy Word is Truth by E.J. Young (Banner of Truth Trust)
All were in great condition except for one minor flaw on volume 4 of the Henry Commentaries.

Arrghhh. Just just reminded me that HPB was having a 20% off sale yesterday, and I missed it.
Of course, I'm all caught up on my book reading and have room for reading tons and tons more! |

I, too, took advantage of the 20% off sale. I found:
Contemplating Aquinas
The Cambridge Companion to Aquinas
Philosophy For Dummies
Logic and Contempory Rhetoric (9th edition)
Elements of Argument (6th edition)
The Consequences of Ideas (R.C. Sproul)
The Portable Atheist
The Problems of Philosophy (Bertrand Russell)
Why I Am NOT A Christian (Bertrand Russell)
All for about 75$. I never knew about this store until reading a thread about it here. Woohoo!
