The Easton Press 100 Greatest Books Ever Written

So you want to collect the Easton Press 100 Greatest Books Ever Written - well thats great but do not stop at 100 because there are 125 books in the series. That fact trips up some collectors and ebay sellers. I often see sellers on ebay erroneously advertising the full set of 100. Here is a list of many of the books:

To buy the set directly from Easton Press will take you about 8 or 9 years and $5,000 dollars. Buying the books in this set on the web you can usually find them for around $19-$30 each. You could likely build the whole set for $3,000 and do it in a week or so given the inventory available on the web.

What makes this set "collectible"? Mainly the quality of the bindings, paper, and endpapers. Also the set is finite and relatively affordable plus they do look great on the shelves - once you own one you will see. These editions have a rabid following.

The titles themsevles are not first editions (in this set) or unavailable elsewhere. The titles are interesting and the inclusion of some is debatable.
