Little Black Classics Box Set: Collectible box 80 Penguin Classics | Timeless Short Stories and Essays from Literary Greats

I started looking for one book and bought the whole box set instead. And I have to say that I am just delighted at the mere sight of this wonderful collection of 80 different types of works of 80 well-known authors. I was a little skeptical because the reviews on Amazon.com, but i must that, my experience has been entirely different.1. I received properly packed, not-at-all torn from any side box set.2. The quality of books is great. The size, as apparent from the dimension of independent books, is a little smaller, as justified by the name 'little black classic', than that of the usual Penguin Classics.3. All books are for keeps. This is one of my best purchases ever. Even though some titles may not interest me right now, I am still looking forward to exploring each one of them, as rest assured, these are all acclaimed works and loved by a variety of people across the world.So, I've attached a few screenshots that give you an idea about1. How it looks2. What are the contents3. The size as compared to a normal Penguin Classic (E.g. Three Men in a Boat. It goes without saying that this book is not a part of the box set and is only used for comparison)

The Penguin Little Black Classics were literally a dream purchase for me, and I finally got them! 🥹I've already read three of them, but honestly... none have lived up to my expectations yet 😭 I'm still hoping the remaining books will change my mind.That said, I have to mention that every single book arrived in amazing condition, exactly as shown in the pictures.

Received this penguins classic book set in a very good condition also the quality of pages is too good. Gifted this book set to my wife and she loved it.

Very simple,and good if you want to build a reading habit.😁 Highly recommended.

Well.. My cup is full and overflowing with love for the collection that stands pretty on my case. I must express my gratitude for the penguins for this fantastic crazy and yet a colorful idea of presenting a microcosm of world literature. Its an awesome collection for any book lover especially a dedicated life long student of literature.The packaging was great and it arrived a day early- amazon signature. I loved the care and love for the books that went into packing and delivering this treasure.The mere sight of this collection induces poetry and reminds me of the worthy pursuits in life.If you are looking to buy- wise thing to do! Go for it and enjoy the pleasure of reading and owning one of the envy inducing collection.Thank you Amazon.

It's worth your money

5 books are missing from 76,77,78,79,80 now I'm trying to get a replacement and hoping to get all the books next time

I'm very disappointed by the poor choice of the books in the set. It was meant as a collection of timeless short stories but rather it contains erotic and perhaps boring stories.( personal opinion ) I have an peculiar feeling that the publishers wanted to throw away all the unsold books and hence came up with this idea. Except a few works like Gogol, Dostoevsky and Nietzsche, all are very disappointing to me.

Super awesome purchase- excellent selection and fantastic price. You can’t really go wrong with this set! The shipping did take about two weeks for mine, but I’m not sure how usual that is. The books are in great condition!
