The bookstores!
I don't loathe Berkeley... but one always has a love/hate relationship with one's hometown.
We went bookstore trawling last Saturday. Not only did I pick up an ARMLOAD of cool dolly clothing/pattern/costume books (mostly on antique dolls) at Half Price Books, but found these two gems at Black Oak.
Lewd & Notorious: Female Transgression in the 18th Century Edited by Katherine Kittredge
and...
Breaking The Codes: Female Criminality in Fin-de-Siècle Paris by Ann-Louise Shapiro (with some amazing prints)
So yeah, I spent my haircut money on books. YAY!
