I checked out the website for Powell's Books - VERY cool! I laughed when I saw "Book Bags Women's book group" what a fantastic name for a bkgrp.. wish I had thought of that myself for mine! I bookmarked the site. I have not read Carol Goodman yet and have 3. Would she be a good group choice?
The Eliot book is in pretty good condition but the spine has what looks like water damage - it's a little washed out. I can't seem to find the right cover to post. It's dark blue and quite nice. I found out that she was a female way back when I was a kid and was terribly impressed by that fact!
Cheers,
Clam

I just picked up a copy of George Eliot's Theophrastus Such, Jubal, and Other Poems, and The Spanish Gypsy. It isn't in the best condition but not bad but it's dated 1888. Pretty cool!
Cheers,
Clamato
