Andrew Lang was a Scot who lived from 1844-1912. He was a writer, who ended up being most famous for these fairy tales that he collected, but didn’t write. The combined Fairy Books contain 437 Fairy Tales from a broad range of cultures and countries. Lang collected, selected and organized the tales, but others did the translating, re-telling, and illustrating.

Signed Modern Classics (93 titles)

jay — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:46:53 +0000

This Easton series contains books that are signed by the author, but are not first editions. The titles were all originally published by other publishers, and once the books became recognized as modern classics, Easton brought out their own edition of the books and paid the authors to sign them. The Signed Modern Classics include both fiction and non-fiction. These books are harder to find thean the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written, and because they are signed, can be considerably more expensive, but it does depend on the title. Some titles are much more in demand than others. The books in the Signed Modern Classics series are:

The US Civil War Series (35 volumes)

jay — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:14:52 +0000

Easton’s Civil War series contains 35 volumes and includes some of the true classics of Civil War history. In my experience, these books are hard to find. Most of the people who own them have little interest in selling them. If you wish to collect this series, be prepared to part with some cash, especially if you intend to complete the entire series as Easton no doubt intended. To give you an idea how hard these books can be to find – I’ve sold nearly all of these titles in First Edition over the last four years. I’ve never had an Easton edition of any of them in my shop. Not one of them, not even once. The books in the series are:
