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.

I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 291 Views
