Hello,
Over the years, our library has lost many of the classic titles that often appear on English literature syllabuses. This leaves us in the awkward situation of having the criticism, but not the underlying texts. Replacing them has proven less then straightforward. Although you can find an inexpensive paperback of these novels in nearly every bookstore in the country, finding durable editions that will hold up in a library is not very easy.
Please send me your ideas on how to identify hardcover versions of classic novels. My preference is for new books, but I am open to buying second hand.
Thanks,
