4) The Bone and Jewel Creatures - Elizabeth Bear (thb)
Where? Hodges Figgis, Dawson St
Why? Can I justify spending €32 on a novella? I am rapidly becoming an Elizabeth Bear completist, which given that she's an obscure enough genre writer to not be regularly stocked in Irish bookshops (not that you have to be all that obscure to be denied shelf space in Ireland, stupid country) is expensive in itself. So I'd like to reward Hodges for not only stocking her books, but stocking this limited edition small press novella that is now out of print. Yes, out of print, and if you factor in shipping and condition I've made a saving on what I would have spend getting it used from Abe.
Also the cover art is really pretty.
The Damage? €32.00
Total Spend €55.23
