My Half Price Books Splurge




My recent shopping splurge at my local Half Price Books, resulted in the purchase of six classics:

The Collected Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald - "This side of Paradise", "The Beautiful and Damned", "The Great Gatsby", "Tender is the Night", "The Diamond as big as the Ritz", "The Love of the last Tycoon", "May Day".

A trilogy of, "The Land that time Forgot", "The people that time Forgot", "Out of time's Abyss", by Edgar Rice Burroughs

"The Mystery of Edwin Drood" by Charles Dickens, illustrated

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & other Macabre Tales" by Washington Irving

"The Woman in White" by Wilkie Collins, illustrated

"Vanity Fair" by William Makepeace Thackeray, illustrated

The ones that most excited me, were, "The Woman in White", and, "Vanity Fair". "The Woman in White" is a Heritage Press 1964 with illustrations. The "Vanity Fair" is a Random House 1958 with beautiful illustrations, as seen in the pictures below:
