Ooooooooo!
I found out that this one company has tons of 'classical' works in leather-bound hardback!
Yay!
Including William Shakespeare: The Complete Works!
Yay!
I adore Shakespeare. I can't wait until I can actually see one of his plays live (A city about a half-hour from people I visit alot has a month long Shakespeare festival each year. I just am never there at the right time of year, or I don't have the money to go while I'm visiting... Someday!)
I think I just added a page to my wishlist with these! Including the Bronte sisters and Jane Austin... both complete works (Unlike Poe, which is a 'select' work... bah!)
And, I think I'm going to make myself a shelf in my room for the pretty, leather-bound classics... And, at about $20 each, they're not that expensive!
Even putting things onto my wishlist is enough to work through my shopping addiction...
Oooooo! The Lord of the Rings 50th anniversary version! Pretty! (Have to remember that I have access to a very, very nice version of the book, plus a version that's good for reading...)
Reminds me... I may have to email my parents to get me the ISBN number of the annotated Shakespeare they have. I loved that thing. It was leather, and nice paper, and all the volumes were fully annotated. Very pretty, and I petted it muchly (Plus, was great when I had Shakespeare in school. Helped a lot.) In fact, I think I got half way through the tragedies before I got distracted...
