Book sale!

[oyceter]

Via glass_icarus, Princeton University Press is having an online sale in the US and Canada until March 31!

I am currently thinking of getting Classical Chinese Supplement: Selections from Historical Texts because I feel I should work on all the 文言文 I memorized in high school, Intermediate Reader of Modern Chinese if it'll work on my iMac, and India Abroad: Diasporic Cultures of Postwar America and England.

I am sad how many books on POC are being written by white people =(.

Things I am not sure I should get but am convinced someone on my r/flist should (all from the "under $15 bin, since I did not allow myself to look outside it for fear of temptation):

• Complexities: Women in Mathematics


• Rising Star: Dandyism, Gender, and Performance in the Fin de Siecle


• Mathematics Elsewhere: An Exploration of Ideas Across Cultures


• Enough to Say It's Far: Selected Poems of Pak Chaesam


• Stand and Prosper: Private Black Colleges and Their Students


• After Every War: Twentieth-Century Women Poets (alas for oracne, this is WWII, not WWI)


• Ancient Sichuan: Treasures from a Lost Civilization

... and there is probably a lot more, but I zoned out after a while. Still. Academic books! For relatively cheap! OMG Chinese textbooks!

I noticed that too. :\ Writers and editors both!

I know! So sad! But I am really excited about the Indian diasporan one and will blame any future purchases on you ;).
