Hi Lori,
I like the Everyman's Library
(http://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/classics/) for starters. I'm going
through the same process of trying to weed beat-up paperback classics
and want to replace them with hardcovers whenever possible.
Best,
Beth

I would strongly suggest buying these items in the out-of-print
market. My research on the topic has shown high availability (95%+)
and good prices. It should be especially easy to find the classics
because of the multiple possible editions. You can check prices with
the meta-search engine, used.addall.com. For your purchases, Alibris
has the advantage of combining orders with special attention to
libraries. If you are willing to make individual transactions,
Half.com is very cheap with materials often priced at $.75 with
shipping under $4.00 per item. You would need the ability to pay by
credit card.

Try the Library of America <http://www.loa.org/catalog.jsp?sort=1>
for American Lit. and the New York Public Library edition
<http://www.nypl.org/publications/colled.cfm> s of classics of world lit.
They are attractive, made to last, and the price is right.
