R$24.50 (reais, Brazil's currency), something like $8. The history book was half of it. I know you Americans are accustomed to buying way better editions for like $1 on library and yard sales, but these prices I got are really rare around here. It was a great deal in my opinion.
Reading "Diary of a Nobody" right now. It's a nice little book, light and funny, but probably not an actual classic.

I am currently reading Crime & Punishment, but I will eventually finish all of these. I read The Iliad and The Odyssey a few years ago, but they warrant a reread; I am almost finished with Sherlock Holmes; and I know the Septuagint isn't the optimal translation, but I do like looking at the side-by-side comparison of the Greek and English translations.

Christ those editions are painful to see.
What's worse is a fantastic Shakespear & Co. first edition replica was put out by Dover around the same time. It has great oversized dimensions, retains the original errors (which had been hard to find up until that point), and has the iconic deep sea blue-green cover with the just the big Ulysses and Joyce's name.
In every bookstore in my metropolitan area they stocked the replicas for about year, then they displaced them for that Vintage one. Ayayay.

Also I haven't looked into the specs of that edition but it's good practice to stay away from "the corrected text" that was edited in the 80s and since been published in a few different editions.

Nah this is the unabridged one, not the 80's one.

Beautiful editions, user.
What's the translation for the Iliad/Odyssey?
