Subject: [ACQNET-L] Hardcover Classics
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,
--Ken Smith
