New books: Oxfam discoveries (En)

Love it or hate it, but Oxfam’s collection of treasures is as enormous as it is mind-boggling. My latest find is the 1873 Bernhard Tauchnitz edition of Rossetti’s poems for a modest (sure it is) price of £7.99. Once I fetched it, Oxfam immediately showed me “Breviarium Romanum Ex decreto Sacrosancti,” the liturgical volume published by Plantin Press (!) in 1726, for £62.
Savage!
