Do you have a wishlist of hard to find or expensive books you want, which you might have some day, or which you'll probably never have? I'm not talking about stuff that you could go buy right now, I'm talking about stuff you want, but can't really afford.
>I'll probably never have Easton Press - Complete works of shakespeare (the one with all the individual books) Easton press - Complete pocket poets Easton press - do androids dream of electric sheep
>I might have some day Easton press - east of eden EDEN EDEN EDEN Michel Gira - The Consumer William blake - the complete illuminated books (Thames & Hudson) moby dick - charles fiedelson jr (hardcover) book of disquiet - richard zeneth translation (hardcover)
I'm tempted to buy this but there's so many other things that I would rather have first for actual reading that I can't justify the cost.

Eden Eden Eden is about 15 yurobucks on amazon
Julian Bell
Link? Every copy I see on american amazon is over 100 dollars.
Robert Wright
no?

Gabriel Taylor
"Contemporary Judaisation of the World or the Jewish Question in the 20th Century" by Konstantin Rodzaevsky, a fascist Russian during stalinism. The book was banned and is nowhere to be found. I know it exists, though.
Levi Edwards
You don't have to bump threads here. The board is slow and most people browse through the catalog so people will see the thread right up until it archives, which won't happen for at least a day because like I said, the board is slow.
Julian Thompson
Why not just read Stalin? He killed more Jews than Hitler and did not make a big fuss about it.
Eli Hill
Most of all I would like a copy of Maldoror illustrated by Dali
Lincoln Sanchez
my diary desu
Lucas Kelly
the limited edition (there are 12 copies) of Norman Mailer's Moonfire, published by Taschen. it comes in an aluminium case with its own stand and a piece of moon rock. bargain at €185,000.
Liam Green
So does that fall under the category of "might get eventually" or "probably never"?
Adam Bailey
>stalin killed (((jews))) nice bait, faggot
Parker Ross
Sooner or later I'll read him, but I am curious to read from this largely forgotten man. The fact that his works are lost makes it even more appealing.
Daniel Watson
Hans Henny Jahnn's "The Ship".
Julian Campbell
Which translation do they use in it?
Nathan Parker
Samuel Butler
Chase Rogers
tfw my Amazon wish list is 14 pages long. None of the books are on the Russian library site
Caleb Campbell
imo Folio Society has a nicer Shakespeare, but it's even pricier at $500-$600 a volume.
Thinking of getting EP's Idylls of the Kings, though. Looks great and has Dore's woodcuts.

Connor Garcia
I've been eyeing a set of Harvard Classics. They're really nice for how cheap they are.
Landon Nelson
What the fuck. Those things are way too expensive.
Jace Adams
>Samuel Butler
Whats the quality of that one like?, I haven't heard of his translation
Kevin Rodriguez
It's prose. It's not bad for prose, it's readable, not too simplified, but--it's prose.
Levi Campbell
Just some translations of older books stuck in Russian or french
Eli Morgan
considering picking up this sick ass 1998 limited edition Ulysses

Chase Moore
Are there any companies that offer custom made books?
Wouldn't mind getting a few editions of specific books I particularly adore, and as gifts as well
Owen Smith
I've been reading the Cambridge Medieval history lately on my e reader, and I thought to look for the later volumes in the set as they aren't available online. This is a bit extreme here for the last volume but most of them are at least 100-200 used.
Nicholas Gutierrez

Jason Rivera

Jaxson Wood
brehs....
Jaxson Sanders
Ok so apparently folio society have some deal atm where you get a free hardback version of a portrait of the artist as a young man as a free gift with your purchase
Ulysses illustrated and signed by Henri fucking Matisse.
Only 3300 dollars.
Asher Stewart
Some of their fiction hardbacks are around like $70
Their more limited edition volumes can run up into the several hundreds of dollars
Adrian Nelson
Never seen a translation of War and Peace in my native language, and there's no way I'm reading that in English. Dostoevsky is also pretty hard to fins in my language, Idiot and Underground. Idiot is like 10 euro used in normal cover.
Colton Williams
Fucking sweet. I just ordered that History Of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. That must be new, I didn't see that last time I went there. I absolutely adore that book, and Bertrand Russell, he's my favorite intellectual next to Noam Chomsky.
Oliver Cruz
Do you have red, blue, or green colored hair?
Connor Gray
I don't, but let me tell you, I love hipster progressive feminist vegan PEOPLE.
Zachary Scott

Alexander Brooks
I don't care too much for collector's editions. I want to read some of Peter Sotos's later stuff, but I also don't want to spend $60 on stuff that I'm not even sure I'll like.
Daniel Gray
Just get all his stuff on p2p file sharing websites. I'm the last person to pirate a book, but sotos stuff is hard to find. You can get it all in one download, usually. People will have all his books and zines in one folder. I recommend soulseekqt.
Angel Brown
I actually have tried that, but it doesn't seem like anyone has uploaded his later work. Everyone has the early zines and interviews, but stuff like Comfort and Critique is nonexistent. Any idea if I'm just missing it somehow?
Leo Gonzalez
>Inb4 King
I always wanted the 25th anniversary edition of IT but it's like 400 bucks
Henry Smith
I'm probably wrong then. I can't find his later stuff either. Sometimes book labels have them for decent prices though. I know RE-SEARCH has them sometimes, and there's this other book label I once knew, but sadly I can't find it in my search history which only goes back to april 2017 for some reason (I never cleared it on purpose).
Sebastian Walker
Oh I remember, Feral House publishing. They only have Pure Filth right now though.
Lucas Murphy
Yeah, I'll have to check those out once in awhile. I used to have that Industrial Culture Handbook thing from RE/SEARCH which was quite a trip, and Apocalypse Culture from FH of course. Someone has a few later Sotos books on eBay at the moment, but I'd like to be able to sample them first basically. I've heard that his writing changed a good bit from the early PURE stuff. Still out to offend and disturb, but going deeper than simple shock tactics.
This signed first edition of Le Ton beau de Marot is probably the most reasonable piece of "expensive" literature that I could ever wish for.
Wyatt Roberts
...
Samuel Garcia
I really really want this
Bentley Howard
What other combos are there i know there is a Matisse Ulysses as well
Isaac Foster
Why don't you just buy the $30 Idylls instead of the $300 one? Both have the Gustave Dore illustrations.
Juan Martin
She ages at least 20 years when she lowers those glasses.
Wyatt Edwards
i've got that i bought it for £3 from the bargain shelf of my local antiquarian bookshop
Eli Myers
that PKD runs almost 1000 dollars my dude.
Lincoln Walker
What's wrong with paying by credit card?
Ian Campbell
The complete works of Conrad. I don't think there's an affordable set for sale anywhere.
Tyler Collins
Got this for my 21st birthday a few years ago.
Aaron Peterson
Sir Arthur Evans published a multi-volume work about the excavations of Minoan civilization at Knossos and I wanted it really bad. My university (OU) had a full set and the books are amazing. Tons of illustrations and pull out maps.
I've only seen one listening for it online and it was over $3,000 lol
Camden Garcia

Leo Diaz
EDEN EDEN EDEN, Decline and fall of the roman empire by Edward Gibbons
Bentley Watson
It's in print again nigga.
Benjamin White
A replica of the Voynich Manuscript The Red Book (with his illustrations)
There are probably a few more, but those are the big ones.
Dominic King
Got this for Christmas last year, it's fucking gorgeous
Joseph Wood
I really like that cover, it's so elegantly simple
Noah Parker
Could you direct me to it? I cant seem to find the edition you posted anywhere.
>tfw shipping cost almost equal the cost of the novel itself
Ryan Hernandez
>bought the fucking $500 version of Folio's Hamlet for my gf for our 3 year anniversary because she fucking adores it >broke up with me literally the day after I ordered it because she wanted to leave me before I had a chance to get anything for the anniversary to "make it less awkward"
Adrian Ross
You can pay with debit card too.
Cooper Anderson
Is this an english translation?
Daniel Ortiz
But now you have a sick copy of Hamlet, so that seems alright.
Joshua Lopez
No I returned it
Mason Rogers
Can't buy me loooooovvve
Lucas Adams
Just ordered that new english translation of eden, eden, eden. I called up Vauxhall & Company and they told me that it was a new translation. The man on the line didn't know whether they were sold anywhere else but in the store, but it is on abebooks; so I ordered it there.
Leo Moore
So, I can't decide whether I want to get the complete works of shakespeare in folio society (in the less expensive editions, not the 500 dollar a piece ones), because they're half price right now and I can afford that. But I also was thinking that I could save up a little more money and get the complete works of shakespeare on easton press. I sort of like the easton press ones a little more, I think they're very pretty.
Caleb Long
Marx Engels Gesamtausgabe. ~50 of ~80 volumes have been completed, and the average cost per volume is >$200.
Landon Cox
Matisse/Baudelaire (Flowers of Evil) Dali/Carrol (Alice) and everything Dore ever did...

Zachary Martinez
It's a fucking case you idiot
Cooper Ward
Whoa, what's eating you?
Wyatt Garcia
What the fuck. I swear to God I was looking at some cheap (9 or 10$) sets of Debroy's Mahabharata a week ago on Amazon. Now I'm trying to find them again but I can't, as if they never existed. I feel angry and stupid.
Bentley Powell
A lot of things actually, sorry, just having a fucking horrific time right now
Brayden Kelly
What´s wrong user? You can talk about here.
Easton Robinson
Are you sure it wasn't just a single volume instead of the entire set? The cheapest complete set I found was for $390. With it being one of the greatest epics ever told, why is it so ridiculously hard to find?
Luis Fisher
This is $20 or less on ebay. You could probably find it in a thrift store with some patience.
Owen Lewis
>Are you sure it wasn't just a single volume instead of the entire set? I'm not sure about anything now, but as far as I remember it was indeed the whole set. Getting each volume individually would be cheaper.
