8.The Library at NightThe Library at Night
from Yale University Press
Price: $12.95

Customer Review:
When I did receive the book I was a little bit disappointed because the back of the book and therefore also the front cover had gotten loose completely. Especially for a paperback this is not a ideal thing. I will try to fix it with some kind of glue.
