Crime/thriller alert! Anything by Lee Child, John Grisham, Tom Clancy or Dan Brown. $5 for this weekend only. Normally $9. Save a bundle. Tell the world!

Jane Austen sortof

A combo of Jane Austen and seamonsters or zombies. Demonstrating the delights of the human imagination and the virtues of the classics being out of copyright, I guess. Yours in wonder for $7 and $10 respectively.

Outta space

Dava Sobel shows us the solar system. $10. We also have the delightful Gallileo's Daughter.

Marcus Aurelius

If you are the person who came in before Christmas looking for this, we have it now!

And thanks so much to the anonymous benefactors who just donated a couple of boxes of excellent books. And to everyone who believes that we don't really own these stories, but just look after them for a bit as they pass through our keeping.

Personal decorating

Maybe not tattoos. Maybe resin jewellery instead. "An essential introductory guide" and "a highly useful reference tool and source of inspiration", says Amazon. Yours for $15.

Exterior decorating

No one said art would be painless. $25

Get your dabchick on

Oh look. Pretty pictures of birds. Plus words. And New Zealand-ness. A delight for $35.

The future

If you are wondering what the future might hold, this might be the guy for you. His first book came out in 1555 and it has seldom been out of print since then apparently. But experts are sceptical, according to Wikipedia. Make your own mind up for $14 and $8 respectively.
