Antiquarian Book Fair This Weekend

Just a reminder that the New York Antiquarian Book Fair started today, and tomorrow we'll be visiting and posting our thoughts on our Twitter feed - just follow @condensermag.

For a cool searchable database of sellers' wares, click here. It's where we discovered the intriguing-sounding 1621 tome The Anatomy of Melancholy: What it is. With all the Kindes Causes Symptomes Prognosticks and several Cures of it...., available for a paltry $45,000 from Thomas A Goldwasser Rare Books. The text itself is available on Google Books here, but it's just not the same when read through a computer screen, is it?
