So many books, so little time...

My Amazon wishlist, where I "store" books I'd like to read, has mushroomed to 769 entries.  I'm not sure whether to be pleased, amused, or concerned. 

The most expensive book on the list is the CD-ROM facsimile edition of John Foxe's Actes and Monuments of Matters Most Speciall and Memorable..., at $475 [1]. The cheapest book, by contrast, is James Blaylock's Homunculus ($2.95).  William St. Clair's The Reading Nation in the Romantic Period (Cambridge, 2004), currently retailing at $150,  wins the prize for "book I really ought to have, but not at that price, thanks." 

[1] That being said, I wouldn't mind owning the 8-vol. AMS reprint of the Cattley-Townsend edition (1837-41)--not because it's a reliable edition (current scholarly consensus is that it's pretty bad), but because it's the one that most of my Victorian novelists knew (along with Pratt-Mendham and Stoughton).  Peter Nockles has a useful overview of Foxe's reception history through the Victorian period.
