Another Riverside Edition added

Today, we found No. 18 in our collection of Houghton Mifflin Riverside Editions. We have a "standing order" at Heartwood Books for these books, but since we were in the area, we thought we'd stop in and look around, and there it was.

It's hard to know how many are out there in this particular collection of Riversides, but we keep coming across new ones. It might be time for a new shelf dedicated to the Riverside collection.

Heartwood Books, over on The Corner, by the UVA campus, specializes in Literature, Americana, Virginia, and Thomas Jefferson.

What we like: Good-size collection of older used fiction. The owner knows we're on the hunt for Riverside Editions, and holds them for us as they come in. There's a rumor that there is a rare/antiquarian room next door, but we've yet to explore it.

What we don't like: Not a lot to dislike, but because it's close to UVA, the fiction section can be overrun at times by newer editions of classics, likely sold by students who no longer need them, and then bought by students who do.

Would we go again? Yes. Anytime we're over by the UVA campus, we pop in for a visit.
