New (to me) foreign editions!

I absolutely love receiving copies of my foreign translations. They arrive in batches every so often, and I fawn over them and pet them, and inevitably hold them at arm’s length, squint, and say to myself, “Okay now, which book is this? In what language?”

Some are in languages I can read a little (Thanks, high school French class!), and others I can guess easily enough by flipping through the pages
