Last night, I was able to pick up one volume of the The Illustrated Animal Library: Fascinating Animal Portraits from Around the World., containing Birds; Reptiles, Amphibians & Fish; and Insects & Invertebrates. Very cool color portraits, well worth the $2.50.
I couldn't find a picture for this one, but Science Through the Microscope, by Aladdin Books, has some neat, up close shots of everything from a cell, to pollen, to a honeybee pupae, to a human embryo. Also $2.50.
The Last 1000 Years has a nice timeline, pictures, maps and reference information for the last millennium. $4.50.
And, finally, The Complete Soapmaker: Tips, Techniques & Recipes for Luxurious Handmade Soaps, is to have on hand in case I decide to start a new hobby. I've checked it out of the library in the past, with excellent intentions, but somehow they never came into fruition. Soon. Maybe. Soon. $2.50.

I found some recipes on line the other day for homemade laundry soap that is apparently economical and more health friendly than regular store brands. I found that interesting. But I found the idea of grating bar soap is more interesting to read about than to do.
