The Complete Classic Collection -- 18 CDs for $149

If you want lots of great books, organized for ease of use and in plain-text format, you should buy the Complete Classic Collection. That includes:

• American Literature, 2-CD set
• British Literature, 3-CD set
• World Literature, 2-CD set
• Non-Fiction, 4-CD set
• Religion
• Children's Books
• Books about Classical Music
• Books of the Western Canon
• Books Books Behind the Classics Illustrated (R) Comics
• Books Books from the Harvard Classics (R) Collection
• Books from the Great Books of the Western World (R) Collection

If you bought those separately, the cost would be $410. So by buying the "package" you save $261.

If you have already bought one or more of these CDs from us and would like the rest of the collection, please contact us by email at seltzer@samizdat.com and let us know. We'll deduct from the price of the collection what you have already spent for the ones you have.

NB -- There is lots of overlap between these Classic Collection CDs and our other CDs. The Classic Collection CDs are organized by the broadest categories (like Non-Fiction). We then include the same books on a variety of other CDs, organized by Themes or Genres or Countries. For instance a play by Moliere will appear in World Literature (in the Classic Collection), and will also appear in French and plays. Caesar's Gallic Wars would appear in Non-Fiction (in the Classic Collection), and also in Ancient World and War.

There are, however, a few books that do not appear in the Classic Collection and do appear on other CDs of ours. For instance, none of the books on our Victoriana (Victorian etiquette, advice and school books) and on Cook Books appear in the Classic Collection. Some of the books on our Detective, Canada, Australia CDs are unique to those. And the Country Studies (profiles of individual countries originally published by the Libary of Congress) available on our World Awareness CDs do not appear in the Classic Collection. If you have a DVD drive, and you want "everything", you should get our Complete Book 3-DVD set instead.
