Re: They do, but the price seems to be even steeper than that. DomA Send a noteboard - 13/01/2010 02:36:35 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.


That's for two volumes in a boxed set. They're also available individually.

Might be cheaper to buy them from a Canadian chain like Indigo or Renaud-Bray.

Mind you, the new edition is chronological, so each volume will have a mix of novels, plays, novellas, essays, letters etc. There's not much point in buying just one, and not much point in buying them at all unless one is a finished maniac of Camus... Usually, the point of buying a Pléiade is to go beyond what's available in Folio! ;)

Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:34:47 AM 771 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 689 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 247 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 629 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 700 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 651 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 327 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 327 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 601 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 629 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 541 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 593 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 634 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 690 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 628 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 291 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 591 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 294 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 558 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 642 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 563 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 704 Views

Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 566 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 581 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 738 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 711 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 556 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 600 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 311 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 572 Views
