The following is a list of a books I'm looking for for Christmas 2016. If you're going to buy these for me please:
- buy them used and sort by price, decending before purchase
- only buy hardcover
As always, I don't want anything but books and wine for Christmas. If it is wine, please make sure it is Red, French from Rhone or Burgundy, and ideally not cheap.
