Barnes and Noble Library of Essential Writers

As big as this website is and as many people there are that occupy its halls, I can't fathom how this series is not mentioned more. It is amazing, cost efficient and looks wonderful on a shelf. The series contains very large and heavy hardcover volumes chronicling the writings..to name a few. Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad, and many other classic lit works along with Victorian Era authors from the corridors of timelessness. The series is out of print and only in hardcover, but are readily available from many outlets...and the best thing. THEY ARE COMPLETLY UNABRIDGED. I would like to hear some positive feedback on some of these. I have them all.

The publisher's series exists. You can add more books to it if you like.

This series is huge and takes up the better part of an entire large shelf. I have the SAKI volume but have not read it yet. I Usually wage war on them in the winter months and am currently formulating a battle plan for the cold days. There are some authors I wish were included. Such as Ambroise Bierce
