Anyone have room for another 200 books?

*shrieks with delight* I honestly don't know where I would put all of these, or how I would purchase them, but it's something to dream about...

Barnes and Noble Classics Library

Though I agree with many reviewers that they would be better in hardback. Keeping them in paperback makes them more attainable for me, at least.

Neat.

I got semi-lucky a few years back when it came to books. Short version of the story:
I bought a condo from a friend. He had a tenant who had lived there last. Guy was from Michigan, living in NJ for work for a few months. Brought a lot of stuffwith him, but didn't want to take it with him when he left.
So....
2 bookshelves, 7 foot tall by 3 feet wide...FULL of books....wait for it.......




$60 bucks


The neatest thing, but maybe voyeuristic, going thru an entire library of someone else's books....the prizes of the collection, for me:
6 volumes of Maughm from 1932
6 volumes of Steinbeck from 1935
All from Colliers

That's cool! Have you tried Google Books for the virtual version? Here's some titles I have found on Google Books:

(guess my list isn't strictly classics, but I'm sure they are on there...)

Hardtack and Coffee
Piercing the Fog
Celebrated Spies and Famous Mysteries of the Great War
The Army Air Forces in World War II, Volume Six
Dust Off: Army Aeromedical Evacuation
New Jersey, a Guide to Its Present and Past (WPA Writer's Project)
