Many of this month's offerings were assigned as "text"

Some buyers may have never enrolled in (or slept through ...) courses
that either listed these titles as required or else recommended.
Even though you had an aversion to them before, maybe they are still
on your long "Someday Isle" reading list?
Here's a chance to get them at reasonably low prices, shipped to your address!
