Stranger than fiction

A short note from the shop on this week's arrivals.

If you thought that this collection was only fiction: think again. In the latest installment of 100+ new books, you'll find books on a number of topics including memoir, histories, and landmark books in philosophy and art. As the Vagabound likes the truth more slanted, there are other phenomenal fiction finds in the latest drop. Among the more-or-less factual, take a look at some of the favorites from this batch.
