At a library sale at John MacArthur's church, I acquired the following;
An 1843 printing of Gilbert Burnet's The History of the Reformation of the Church of England (3 volumes)
Joel R. Beeke's 2006 commentary on 1-3 John
A first edition of Calvin Memorial Addresses Delivered Before the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States at Savannah, Georgia, May, 1909, a publication marking the 400th anniversary of Calvin's birth
the hardback reprint of Issues 1-16 (September, 1955 - August, 1959) of The Banner of Truth magazine
the first three volumes of Posthumous Works of the Rev. Thomas Chalmers, DD., LL.D, which are comprised of his Daily Scripture Readings (1848), covering Genesis through Jeremiah
Joel R. Beeke's 2016 commentary on the Book of Revelation, in the now dead (I think) Lectio Continua series
the 1888 1-volume reprint of Life and Times of Girolamo Savonarola by Pasquale Villari (first published in 2 volumes in 1859 and 1861)
All the above for $2 each.
And, for free (my guess is that the librarian didn't think he could sell them), I also acquired 9 hardback volumes of sermons by H. P. Liddon (19th-century conservative Anglican)
I'd encourage you to keep an eye peeled for library sales at seminaries, Christian colleges, and the like. You can pick up some good stuff - some of it otherwise unavailable - for cheap prices. (Sometimes, even regular public libraries will have a gem or two for sale.)
