Columbia University Press is presently having it's "White Sale" until May 31, and there's a lot of good books going on sale for cheap. The "Science" section has some particularly good stuff, like Slotten's The Heretic in Darwin's Court: The Life of Alfred Russel Wallace, Agusti and Anton's Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids: 65 Million Years of Mammalian Evolution in Europe, Laporte's George Gaylord Simpson: Paleontologist and Evolutionist, and even some more technical material like The Eocene-Oligocene Transition: Paradise Lost by Prothero and New Approaches to Speciation in the Fossil Record edited by Erwin and Antsey.
I already have a huge stack of books that I've been meaning to get through, but I may have to give in to temptation and pick up a few Columbia titles while they're on sale. (Just check other sources to see if you can still get a better price, though. Even though these books are on sale, you can usually get used copies for even less.)
