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 886 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 811 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 292 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 749 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 818 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 781 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 374 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 370 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 732 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 755 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 655 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 706 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 771 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 818 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 757 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 336 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 727 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 350 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 685 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 762 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 679 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 826 Views

Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 689 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 692 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 873 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 833 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 681 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 779 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 725 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 352 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 696 Views
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 636 Views

There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 951 Views
