This Week's (Slightly Belated) Acquisitions
(I returned yesterday from a conference in Boston, which also enabled me to spend some time wandering around Cambridge and getting a tour from one of the curators at the Houghton Library. While in Harvard's vicinity, I may have wandered into stores retailing...certain items, most of which are being shipped back to Brockport.)
