Hello, I'm new to the group. While I was joyfully reading all the past posts, I followed up on some recommendations of the Dover books and discovered that the Dover website is having a warehouse sale until 24 June, including discounts on several beautiful-looking fine art books, such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and Rip Van Winkle illustrated by Rackham. There are other books with more limited illustrations as well, such as an edition of the Water Babies with a few Goble illustrations.

There are some great deals - particularly if you live in the US, since s&h is free for orders over $50. (Sadly, I am not in the US. And for some odd reason they won't export the Rip Van Winkle book, but the others I ordered were allowed out.) I haven't seen the books in person, so I can't vouch for the quality, but I bought them based on some strong recommendations from this group, so I assume they will be excellent (affordable!) additions to my library. I just thought I'd let you guys know, in case there are some members who are interested...

That sale looks to be an annual event- and there are a few of my collections in the mix this year-

And some other good stuff as well-

BTW, Rip Van Winkle ( also on sale ) wasn't allowed out due to copyright restrictions, but I believe they have expired in Britain as well now.
