Recently I was asked about the books purchased with Islamic Studies funds last year. Since I wasn't here last year, I didn't know how to answer this query. However, after a little digging, I was able to come up with a list. All the books purchased last year were in English, something we will be rectifying this coming year. Since this is a fairly long list I am going to break this up over several posts. Enjoy this and check out some of these wonderful titles from the Olin Library.
