They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. Legolas Send a noteboard - 12/01/2010 11:37:45 PM
I searched for la Pléiade but the interface was confusing at the few sites that advertised them. Would I pay $80-$120 for a good book by a great author? Yes. But how do I search for them? It doesn't look like Amazon carries them.


130 euro plus shipping costs means it'll be probably over 200 USD.

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 832 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 749 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 271 Views
Ah, I was wondering if it might be that one (obviously, I know very little Russian) Larry - 11/01/2010 04:04:14 AM 693 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 766 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 723 Views
Re: I liked 1776 and try The Johnstown Flood. One of my best reads for last year *NM* Nolan - 11/01/2010 03:33:24 PM 349 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 349 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 669 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 692 Views
Well, then I'd have to buy it in French, and that gets me back to my old problem: Tom - 11/01/2010 01:42:35 PM 603 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 649 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 703 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 758 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 694 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 313 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 667 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 319 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 624 Views
Why would one do a new edition of a book that old - and that short - in hardcover? Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:00:04 PM 701 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 628 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 763 Views

Can you let me know what you think of 1776? Tim - 11/01/2010 09:13:58 AM 803 Views
Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 634 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 642 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 818 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 772 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 625 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 723 Views
I have a lot more on my "to read one day" list, but I don't want to read them all in one year. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:46:59 PM 666 Views
I assumed you would have... I just didn't have anything more interesting to say *NM* snoopcester - 11/01/2010 02:59:30 PM 330 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 642 Views
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 581 Views

There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 817 Views
She reads the same books over and over and over. Tom - 14/01/2010 05:08:20 PM 618 Views
