Ok, here's the situation my friends. I have a 40% off coupon for Borders burning a hole in my pocket. Should I use it and if so, which of the following books do you think I should buy? I've read them all and would like to have them in my own library because I really like to reread.

Wicked Plants The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities: cover price $18.96. It's a neat referance book on poisonous plants, probably won't come out in paperback.
The Jewel of Medina: cover price $24.95. A good book that I might be able to get cheaper if I could be patient enough to wait for it come out in paperback or maybe get lucky and find the hardcover used.
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane: cover price $25.99. Another good book that I might be able to get cheaper if I could be patient enough to wait for it come out in paperback or maybe get lucky and find the hardcover used.

If I do use it, it will probably be after work tomorrow, so quick replies would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I did decide to go with the plant book, especially after learning that the author will be visiting a bookstore near me next week. Had to get it so I could get it autographed, of course.

P.S. I succumbed to temptation. I went back with my sister and bought the other two with two more 40% off coupons. lol
