New Titles Posted, Apr 2010 (1st)

New titles in stock posted. Our top picks:

Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds (HB) – First published in 1841, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is often cited as the best book ever written about market psychology. This edition includes Charles Mackay’s account of the three infamous financial manias – John Law’s Mississippi Scheme, the South Sea Bubble, and Tulipomania. * – I highly recommend this book, while this is free online (try out a few chapters you’ll be hooked), nothing feels better having this on your shelves.
Dr. Seuss & Mr. Geisel: A Biography (Hardbound) – The definitive biography of the beloved children’s author re-released in celebration of the new musical “Seussical”. Horton, Thidwick, Yertle, the Lorax, the Grinch, Sneetches, and the Cat in the Hat are just a handful of the bizarre and beloved characters Theodor S. Geisel (1904-1991), alias Dr. Seuss, created in his 47 children’s books, from 1937’s And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street to 1990’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
