I'm tempted to buy this but there's so many other things that I would rather have first for actual reading that I can't justify the cost.

Eden Eden Eden is about 15 yurobucks on amazon

"Contemporary Judaisation of the World or the Jewish Question in the 20th Century" by Konstantin Rodzaevsky, a fascist Russian during stalinism. The book was banned and is nowhere to be found. I know it exists, though.

You don't have to bump threads here. The board is slow and most people browse through the catalog so people will see the thread right up until it archives, which won't happen for at least a day because like I said, the board is slow.

Why not just read Stalin? He killed more Jews than Hitler and did not make a big fuss about it.

Most of all I would like a copy of Maldoror illustrated by Dali

the limited edition (there are 12 copies) of Norman Mailer's Moonfire, published by Taschen. it comes in an aluminium case with its own stand and a piece of moon rock. bargain at €185,000.

>>9723237
So does that fall under the category of "might get eventually" or "probably never"?

Sooner or later I'll read him, but I am curious to read from this largely forgotten man. The fact that his works are lost makes it even more appealing.

tfw my Amazon wish list is 14 pages long. None of the books are on the Russian library site

imo Folio Society has a nicer Shakespeare, but it's even pricier at $500-$600 a volume.

Thinking of getting EP's Idylls of the Kings, though. Looks great and has Dore's woodcuts.

Whats the quality of that one like?, I haven't heard of his translation

>>9724015
It's prose. It's not bad for prose, it's readable, not too simplified, but--it's prose.

Are there any companies that offer custom made books?

Wouldn't mind getting a few editions of specific books I particularly adore, and as gifts as well

I've been reading the Cambridge Medieval history lately on my e reader, and I thought to look for the later volumes in the set as they aren't available online. This is a bit extreme here for the last volume but most of them are at least 100-200 used.

Ulysses illustrated and signed by Henri fucking Matisse.

Only 3300 dollars.

>>9725230
Some of their fiction hardbacks are around like $70

Their more limited edition volumes can run up into the several hundreds of dollars

Never seen a translation of War and Peace in my native language, and there's no way I'm reading that in English. Dostoevsky is also pretty hard to fins in my language, Idiot and Underground. Idiot is like 10 euro used in normal cover.

Fucking sweet. I just ordered that History Of Western Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. That must be new, I didn't see that last time I went there. I absolutely adore that book, and Bertrand Russell, he's my favorite intellectual next to Noam Chomsky.

1st edition mein kampf signed by hitler

I don't care too much for collector's editions. I want to read some of Peter Sotos's later stuff, but I also don't want to spend $60 on stuff that I'm not even sure I'll like.

>>9725322
Just get all his stuff on p2p file sharing websites. I'm the last person to pirate a book, but sotos stuff is hard to find. You can get it all in one download, usually. People will have all his books and zines in one folder. I recommend soulseekqt.

>>9725323
I actually have tried that, but it doesn't seem like anyone has uploaded his later work. Everyone has the early zines and interviews, but stuff like Comfort and Critique is nonexistent. Any idea if I'm just missing it somehow?

>Inb4 King

I always wanted the 25th anniversary edition of IT but it's like 400 bucks

>>9725326
I'm probably wrong then. I can't find his later stuff either. Sometimes book labels have them for decent prices though. I know RE-SEARCH has them sometimes, and there's this other book label I once knew, but sadly I can't find it in my search history which only goes back to april 2017 for some reason (I never cleared it on purpose).

>>9725365
Oh I remember, Feral House publishing. They only have Pure Filth right now though.

>>9725365
>>9725377
Yeah, I'll have to check those out once in awhile. I used to have that Industrial Culture Handbook thing from RE/SEARCH which was quite a trip, and Apocalypse Culture from FH of course. Someone has a few later Sotos books on eBay at the moment, but I'd like to be able to sample them first basically. I've heard that his writing changed a good bit from the early PURE stuff. Still out to offend and disturb, but going deeper than simple shock tactics.

Sir Arthur Evans published a multi-volume work about the excavations of Minoan civilization at Knossos and I wanted it really bad.
My university (OU) had a full set and the books are amazing. Tons of illustrations and pull out maps.

I've only seen one listening for it online and it was over $3,000 lol

Can't buy me loooooovvve

Just ordered that new english translation of eden, eden, eden. I called up Vauxhall & Company and they told me that it was a new translation. The man on the line didn't know whether they were sold anywhere else but in the store, but it is on abebooks; so I ordered it there.

So, I can't decide whether I want to get the complete works of shakespeare in folio society (in the less expensive editions, not the 500 dollar a piece ones), because they're half price right now and I can afford that. But I also was thinking that I could save up a little more money and get the complete works of shakespeare on easton press. I sort of like the easton press ones a little more, I think they're very pretty.

Are you sure it wasn't just a single volume instead of the entire set? The cheapest complete set I found was for $390. With it being one of the greatest epics ever told, why is it so ridiculously hard to find?

>>9722397
This is $20 or less on ebay. You could probably find it in a thrift store with some patience.

>>9732813
>Are you sure it wasn't just a single volume instead of the entire set?
I'm not sure about anything now, but as far as I remember it was indeed the whole set.
Getting each volume individually would be cheaper.
