This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- Another second-hand volume to my growing collection of The Correspondence of #CharlesDarwin, this one Volume 26: 1878, published by Cambridge University Press.
- #Warhammer: The Art of #GamesWorkshop, a rather rare exhibition catalogue of grimdark artwork that I bought via eBay.
- I Have Landed: The End of a Beginning in #NaturalHistory, the final of the essay bundles from #StephenJayGould, published by Harmony Books.

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor. On the left, standing up, The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, Volume 26: 1878, showing a thick moss-green hardback with black and white lettering. In the middle, lying down, Warhammer: The Art of Games Workshop, showing a slim paperback volume with a parchment-coloured cover showing a man in a large blue metal armoured exo-suit with an oversized red-and-gold metal glove and a gun in the other hand (or in the lingo of Games Workshop, a Space Marine with a power fist). Several parchment seals hang from the suit. The figure is walking towards the viewer. The piece is by Karl Kopinski and is called "Commander Cantor" On the right, standing up, I Have Landed, showing a white hardback with a large blue rectangle on the cover. Along the bottom, several cartoonesque human figures trot and cavort across the cover from right to left. They are drawn in green, orange, blue, and yellow outlines.
