Wild hope springs up, then perishes as quickly

Got the new cambridge university press catalog last week. I open it up, and lo! A new edition of George Herbert's English Poems! Eureka! Gotta have it!

And look! Even better--a new, fully annotated edition of the Martin Marprelate Tracts! Wow, what a haul. The two poles of my research interests, both represented in brand new scholarly editions! What wonderful additions to my library!

except that each book is 150 bloody dollars. Well, hell. I can't even justify having our library here at school, with its limited resources, buy these two.

$150!!! Curses!
