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 906 Views
I doubt it quite the same ways that book seems to have for you Larry - 11/01/2010 03:43:37 AM 832 Views
"Invitation to a Beheading" is the translated title *NM* Tom - 11/01/2010 03:55:06 AM 298 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 767 Views
I liked 1776. Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 04:00:03 AM 836 Views
John Adams sounded good, but I've vowed to limit book-buying. Tom - 11/01/2010 01:41:50 PM 800 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 381 Views
Cool, I'll put it on the list. *NM* Darth_Katie - 11/01/2010 05:23:21 PM 379 Views
The Plague might disappoint you. jh - 11/01/2010 06:31:54 AM 752 Views
I was suspecting that: I studied some other Camus in school, but not that one. Tim - 11/01/2010 09:02:04 AM 773 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 675 Views
Y'a pas de bonnes bibliothèques avec une section "Langues Étrangères" à New York? Tim - 11/01/2010 02:11:33 PM 730 Views
I'm too lazy to respond in French. Tom - 11/01/2010 02:37:41 PM 789 Views
Looks like you win. Can't find it on fnac.com either. Tim - 11/01/2010 02:55:10 PM 835 Views
I just can't justify buying a book I would want to keep in paperback. Tom - 11/01/2010 03:53:06 PM 774 Views
I would have thought "it's not available in hardback" was a good justification... *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 03:55:56 PM 343 Views
Not for a book that I am sure is in hardcover somewhere... Tom - 11/01/2010 03:59:08 PM 745 Views
Are you sure it's in hardcover somewhere? *NM* Tim - 11/01/2010 04:00:54 PM 357 Views
It's a classic. How could it not be? Tom - 11/01/2010 04:03:07 PM 702 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 779 Views
Because it's a classic. Tom - 11/01/2010 05:06:51 PM 698 Views
I see. Legolas - 11/01/2010 05:46:06 PM 844 Views

Re: Can you let me know what you think of 1776? snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:29:22 AM 704 Views
I had skimmed a part of it previously Tom - 11/01/2010 01:45:20 PM 711 Views
Oh, and regarding another of your points Tom - 11/01/2010 02:49:26 PM 887 Views
That's some pretty assonance . Tim - 11/01/2010 02:56:20 PM 850 Views
It's pretty straightforward Tom - 11/01/2010 03:57:41 PM 697 Views
Re: Well, if Tim can post his planned reads for 2010, so can I. snoopcester - 11/01/2010 11:32:53 AM 794 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 743 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 358 Views
Try "Did you know sheep have no gag reflex?" next time. Tom - 11/01/2010 04:01:54 PM 712 Views
On the Road is a classic. everynametaken - 12/01/2010 04:08:11 AM 652 Views

There is a more important question to ask Amys - 14/01/2010 08:04:51 AM 974 Views
