So I have acquired 5 brand-new bookcases to fill with books. Bliss! However, after I relocated 2 bookcases' worth of books to my office, I was left with... three empty shelves in my home library. This is bordering on sacrilege, so I'm constantly on the lookout for books to fill the emptiness. I just placed a 155$ two-volume set into my Amazon wishlist, but I do not have money, so I'm just going to check it from the library.

And what is it?

The secret history of the Mongols : a Mongolian epic chronicle of the thirteenth century, translated with a historical and philological commentary by Igor de Rachewiltz.

Excuse me while I drool.

ETA: this book is amazing. I need my own copy.
