GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

The Modern Library is a series of affordable reprints of classics, begun in 1917. 800 titles have been published and that doesn’t count the different covers, styles, forewards, etc. which make the same titles unique. Do you sense a collectible? You sure do. There are even subcategories to collect: the “buckram reinforced” editions, the “giants” who weigh in at over 1,000 pages each, and all sorts of specific binding types and dustjacket artists. Publisher Random House was originally a Modern Library subsidiary, formed to print random titles outside of the M.L. charter. (via xBlog)
