I have two huge paperbacks of the Norton Anthology of English Literature. They are both in highly readable condition, but they are "unpostable" as there is some writing on some of the pages and the occasional underline. But they are in surprisingly good shape considering I lugged them around in my backpack for 4 years of college. So, there is some normal wear and tear, but the spines of both books are good, not cracked at all, and they are in good readable condition.
The first is The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 1, Third Edition, copyright 1974, 2521 pages. There is some tearing at the corners front and back, and the outside edge of the front cover.
The second is The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Major Author's Edition, Third Edition, copyright 1975, 2653 pages. This one is really in good shape, spine good, no tears on the cover, just the slightest bends at the corners from my thumbs.
My thinking is that Englsh Literature hasn't changed since my college days, so these books should contain everything the more recently published volumes would. And I know I would have LOVED something like PBS to have existed back when I had to buy my college books; it was always a huge jolt to see how much books cost.
Anyway, these books are fat and heavy and I'd like to offer them for a credit apiece. if you're interested, please just zing me a PM. If you'd like, I'd be happy to provide a listing of the poets/writers that each contains, if that will help you decide. Anyway, I hope I can find a new home for these books.
