Best impulsive shopping ever.
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 about 1. How it looks 2. What are the contents 3. 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 hype is not worth it. Don't be materialistic towards books.
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.
