Book order with Christmas money

A small flurry of book buying using the present from my mother - a snapshot of my current reading interests

Robert Darnton, The Case for Books; Phillip Roseman's The Story of a Great Medieval Book: Peter Lombard's Sentences; Three by Anthony Grafton - Defenders of the Text, Commerce with the Classics and Worlds made by Words; Sharon Farmer's Syncretism in the West: Pico's 900 Theses; Greg Milner's Perfecting Sound Forever: The Story of Recorded Music

Just a £15 Waterstone's token left to spend - will be spent this afternoon

First new book arrives post Christmas - Mona Baker's In Other Words (yet another book on translation, though this one a little more technical that other recent ones)
