The Cambridge Edition Of The Works Of Virginia Woolf: The Years edited by Anna Snaith

It’s the end of the year and the time for rebirth is upon us. No, I’m not talking about the Mayan Apocalypse. I’m talking about some old man love between Alain Badiou, Alasdair Gray, and George Bernard Shaw that’s going to posthumously bring about the rebirth of history in the letters section of The Times. This is heavy stuff my friend. But then again, rebirthing always is. And did I mention it is only happening here in Graduate Services? Well, it is; so you better get here fast or you might be celebrating the holidays the old world way. And the new world is going to be so much cooler. You’ll see. It’s going to be happy hour all day long. Enjoy.

The Shakespeare Head Press Edition Of Virginia Woolf: Three Guineas edited by Naomi Black

You can say that four books is not a lot to get in a month. But what if two of those books were collections of letters? Would you still say that? I mean imagine how much mail this would be if each one of the letters in these two books arrived at your door. You’d think you were a teen pop star, or at least some sad public figure who survived a tragedy and ended up on a day time television talk show. Either way lots of mail would be coming your way and you would probably have your own mail room section at the local post office. That’s the way I like to think about these four books: two books plus the condensed intensity of years of mail service. Enjoy.
