what I bought at the recent YU book sale

Boy am I tired. But the blog marches on.
Yeshiva University holds its annual famous book fair in February every year. This year I finally went. Their website, http://www.soyseforim.org/ says they are "the largest Jewish book sale in North America."
I spent about $150 (that belongs on my librarian resume to prove how I like books) and got the following books.
Hasidism Reappraised- Reappraises the historical understanding of the history of hasidism. Hasidism is a movement within Orthodox Judaism.
Pious and Rebellious- by Avraham Grossman. He's a really big name in Jewish history. The book is a history of the status of medieval Jewish women.
Khal Israel- The history of Jewish autonomy.
(Rabbi) Yom Tov Lippman Heller- A bio of a 17th century rabbi and commentator. I've studied his works so I wanted to read a bio about him.
Analysis of the development of Jewish liturgy.

The Book in the Jewish World 1700-1900- This is a great book for library students as it deals with books!
In future posts I'll go into more depth about what I learned from what I read.
If you went to the YU sale I'd love to hear about your experience and what you bought.
Take care,
