I've been feeling a bit out of it for the last few days, so I was really looking forward a day off where I could go see if there was anything new or interesting in the local used book shops. There wasn't really anything of interest at the book auction other than a copy of the second volume of Gotlands Runinskrifter (which is incidentally available online so I might as well leave that for someone who actually does runology), so I moved onto Vangsgaards main shop on Fiolstræde.
It appears that there were a few new books in the Greek history and literature section, including a copy of Meiggs & Lewis' A Selection of Greek Historical Inscriptions to the End of the Fifth Century B.C.
I admit I already have a copy of the revised version of this which was reissued as a Clarendon Paperback in 1992 (a purchase from the very fine Hellenic Book Service in London some years back), but it is always nice to get a good clean copy of the original hardcover – especially at a reasonable price of 125 DKK (ca. $17.61 USD). Also, my paperback copy is currently in storage in Canada and it's not really helping me at the moment.
