August's shelf


There are some "hang-er on-ers" from last month. Didn't completely knock out 1922-29 along with the regular stack. Oh well.

The books look good, and some are slim, which is a blessing. But overall, I'm approaching this month with trepidation. This was the front page of the first one I started:

This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values 
as it would if it were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with 
their children how views on race have changed before allowing them
 to read this classic work.

eek!
