Some new titles for sale; Aquinas, Bouyer, etc.

I spend a great deal of time trying to acquire for my own library, reference and study, various editions of liturgical books and liturgical studies.

As a side-effect of that search, I go to many used book sales and often run into other high quality Catholic books, especially theology, and liturgy which I already have in my own collection.

I went to another such sale recently and came away with the following which I am glad to offer up for sale here. (Sadly, no great liturgical finds for my own library however! But some good finds for those particularly interested in philosophy and theology.)
