sorry, bit out there. actually $13,400.00 which makes it sound like even less of an offer. Surprised that a marketplace seller would do something like that, is it cheaper to buy the titles individually? Just seems a meaningless figure when it's that high, doubt if anybody would avail of the offer.

I don't know. You often hear of rich people buying books by the yard to make their houses look better. I can see the appeal of having 1100 of the "greatest books in history" as a ready-made library. It's almost certainly a big saving on the individual RRPs but probably not a massive one on the Amazon prices.
I would be willing to listen to offers in the region of $10,000 for my collection of 800 or so, btw.

Okay, the conversation overlapped for a second there and I thought Stevolende was saying that Penguin was bought out for $13,000, and I was all, "B-b-but we could've bought them out!"

Two of the largest book publishers -- Penguin, home to Patricia Cornwell and Nora Roberts, and Random House, which publishes E.L. James and George R.R. Martin --
