A Latin Mary Poppins, hiding in the Greek and Roman sections

I just finished reorganizing the Greek and Roman sections.

Note: some books can be found in other sections-
           mythology is in the back room under mythology,
           Greek language books are in the religion section.

Three general books I thought interesting:

Mary Poppins, A-Z, by P. L. Travers (in latin), last blogged in October. Hey, why hasn't someone snatched this up?

It's Greek to Me: Brush up your classics, by Michael Macrone - takes the classical sources and original meanings of Greek phrases, and explains how they came to mean what they do today.

Aristotle For Everybody: Difficult Thought Made Easy, by Morimer J. Adler- For those of us who read Aristotle and are still clueless, this book could help, maybe.
