Notes on

Troll image by J.P. Hammond 1885Classic Literature

For those who seriously collect the classics, these are the most renowned works of literature by history's greatest authors: the timeless works of Shakespeare, Homer, Dante, Chaucer, Steinbeck, and all of civilization's most important writers. From Aristotle to Zola, from the 4,000 year old myths of Mesopotamia to nineteenth century American novels, we find time honored masterpieces and little known literary gems. Here is where you might find a first edition Dickens or a beautiful parlor romance. These are rare books that make us dream and wonder.

These books continue to be available in print long after they were published, and are designated as classics by the people who still love the characters and the plots. Here you will find early editions and sometimes first editions of childrens classics, fiction, romance, and tales of heros and heroines. Often beautifully bound and maintained with the care and love of the readers who cherished the stories within.
