Collections in This Library

The Complete Library Collection is made up of several smaller collections, also available at Amazon.com

Penguin Foundations in Literature Collection: The Penguin Foundations in Literature Collection is volume I of "The American Collection" and consists of 94 Classics of American Fiction through the 19th century.
Penguin Foundations in Democracy Collection: The Penguin Foundations in Democracy Collection is Volume II of "The American Collection" and contains 43 titles focused on the political writings, memoirs, and narratives that chronicle the birth and growth of the nation.
Penguin The English Collection: The Penguin English Collection contains 119 of the best-loved British Literature Classics
Penguin The Complete Greeks & Romans Collection: The Penguin Complete Greeks & Romans Collection consists of 102 significant works of the ancient Greeks and Romans that constitute a firm foundation in classical studies.
Penguin The Children's Library Collection: The 51 classics of children's literature in Penguin's The Children's Library Collection might better be described as a teen and young adult collection, judging from some of the customer comments. To be sure, there aren't many picture books, or selections for very young children. There are also a number of books that while suitable for young readers would certainly be of interest to adults as well. All quibbling over the editors' selections aside, this is a wonderful collection for children of all ages and interests.
The Pelican World of Shakespeare Collection: The Pelican World of Shakespeare Collection is a handsomely bound 38 volume compendium of the critically acclaimed series edited and with commentaries by Orgel & Braunmuller, which are also featured in the economical but cumbersome volume The Complete Pelican Shakespeare

Limited Availability

Buy Now to Ensure Delivery

These Penguin Library Collections are an Amazon exclusive subject to availability. They are periodically unavailable, and always seem to be a little more expensive each time they are re-issued. In spite of their relatively high cost, they are an excellent value, selling at a much deeper discount than the individual volumes purchased separately.

Amazon Gift Cards

Even though This collection is a great value, I don't expect many people to buy $8900 worth of books. But you might be interested in these gift cards in any denomination from $5 - $5000.
