What does “good selection” mean? Looks it up.

My cynicism is defeated. A great selection.
eg.
“Lectures on the Hyperreals: An Introduction to Nonstandard Analysis” is difficult to find even in a Uni Library, but is on the list.

Let’s try a few other lesser-known books:

Hart “The british way in warfare” – not there
Idriess “Fortunes in minerals” – not there
“The bridge a sea cliff solution” – not there
“Princeton Guide to Advanced Physics” – Yes
“How to amputate a leg” – Yes
“Get stuffed. The home taxidermist’s handbook” – Not there
“The modern harpsichord” – Not there
E.E.Smith “The galaxy primes” – Yes
Burnett “Zoology. An introduction to the animal kingdom” – Not there
Pritchard “Ancient Near Eastern texts relating to the Old Testament” – Yes
Liverhant “Elementary Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Physics” – Yes.

Much better coverage than I expected.
