Many of the offerings are new though.

That is a pretty good list and normally the best of both come out in the fall. I can easily see several of these making my years best list.
A few books I can't wait to tear into are Dennis Tafoya's, "The Wolves of Fairmount Park", John Verdon's, " Think of a Numb3r", John Rector's, "The Cold Kiss", Charlie Stella's, "Johnny Porno" and Paul Doiron's, "The Poachers Son".
It wont be long till I'll be able to see "Animal Kingdom", "Mesrine in 2 parts", "The Red Riding Trilogy", "The Square", "A Prophet" and "The Secret in their Eyes". All of this without even talking about the Oct-Nov releases. a good year indeeed!
