It's been awhile, /lit/. I haven't been here in a good while. Is there a recommended set of pic related? I want the Penguin Classics set in paperback, but can only find 1-3. Help me out.

Do you have an entire set? Or a collection all in one book? Or the abridged version?

Fuck the Romans

Thanks for your input, my man. Have a (you).

>Durant
What does lit think of Durant?
Never see him discussed here

You can get a lightly used 6 vol in 3 hardback+slipcase Heritage Press set of Gibbon for less than the corresponding 3 paperback volumes from Penguin bought new. Got mine for $18 total, but they go on ebay/amazon/abebooks pretty regularly for $25-30.

Oh and PS the 3 penguin volumes are the complete text, but the pic you posted is of a 4th, different, condensed single volume of the entire text.
>>8218918
Yeah, I realize it's an abridged version. I just couldn't find a set image with the title visible. Thanks, anon, you're a good guy. 10/10, would lend books to.
>>8218918
Oh, fuck. 1-3 are the whole set? Nice, didn't realize. Thanks again.
