Oxford University Press Language Book Sale
I saw over on sci.lang that Oxford is having a ridiculously low-priced sale on a bunch of good language and linguistics books.
The standout in that list is the beautiful and comprehensive encyclopedia The World's Writing Systems, normally $175, now $46. That's one of my favorite books. They also have Greenbaum's Oxford English Grammar, Comrie's World's Major Languages, several foreign language courses, and something called The Oxford Guide to Word Games.
These OUP sales come along rarely and don't last long, so it's usually worth the trouble to jump on it if they're offering something you find interesting.
