Usually I buy lots of paperbacks during a year, because, lets face it, its cheap. Still I love buying some hardcovers now and then, and beautifully made leatherbound and clothbound books are my favorites (I just love the smell!). I've been a huge fan of Collector's Library, Penguin Clothbound classics and Wordsworth Library Collection for a while. I love buying collective works, both because they look lovely and you get more than one book for your money. Both Wordsworth, Penguin and Collector's Library have plenty of pretty collections and some pretty hadcover novels for a cheap prize. I'm a fan of the small hardcover books from Collector's Library as well, because they are handy and beautiful at the same time. Now I've found some beautiful leatherbound classics from Barnes & Noble. Each book has its own individual look, and the covers looks so well made. Too bad I already have alot of the books in the series, in paperback or from one of the other previously mentioned series (like Wuthering Heights, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Jane Austen collcetion, Narnia, Edgar Allan Poe collection, Alice in Wonderland, H.C.Andersen collection, Complete Sherlock Holmes, The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Divine Comedy,)
Here are some of the books I would love to have in my shelf:

I love the Barnes and Noble editions! The best part of them is that they're very cheap, usually less than $30/kr150! Book prices here are ridiculous. Once my residence permit is approved, I'm getting a library card!
Yes, both book prices and magazine prices are ridiculous here. I order most of my books (even school books) on the net. I can reccommend "Bookdepository" :) Luckily there is no custom on books here.
Bookdepository has some pretty reasonable prices! I'll look at them to re-buy all the books I had to leave behind. Thanks!
vi har mange av disse bøkene hos oss, og Edgar Allen Poe kjenner jeg godt til. min favoritt for tiden er Grimm's Complete Fairytails, det blir ikke bedre enn det, men jeg skulle veldig gjerne hatt Alice in Wonderland :)
disse nettstedene du skriver om skal jeg sjekke ut.
det var virkelig en fin ønskeliste du hadde også, for meg er godt lesestoff som narkotisk stoff, jeg må ha det, hver eneste bok er en vidunderlig gave :)
angående ditt spørsmål; det var oljemaling han brukte.
Its not often I get new places to buy books - but here I got several! A million thanks Pandora <3
I buy my school books online too. The price tags here's a shame!
You are very welcome, Luna! :)
Veronica: Godt lesestoff er absolutt mitt største narkotikum, og er noe av det fineste jeg kan eie og holde i hendene. Derfor elsker jeg sommeren. Når jeg kan lese akkurat hva jeg måtte ønske, og så mye jeg kan klare. Lange dager med nydelige historier som man ikke klarer å legge fra seg. Nå starter desverre skolen, men heldigvis så er det mye spennende å lese der også.
Lykke! Jeg fikk såå lyst på Brødrene Grimm utgsven helt nederst, leter fremdels etter den perfekte Grimms eventyr boka.
