Little Black Classics Box Set: Collectible box 80 Penguin Classics | Timeless Short Stories and Essays from Literary Greats Paperback – Deckle Edge, 3 September 2015

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)

Beautiful set. Authors and content are very, very well chosen. You get a variety and might find out your soul genre. There are poems, novellas, travelogues, biographies, autobiographies, true accounts, short stories, plays, haikus, tales. Unlike others I got all 80 books and non of them were missing and none of them were repeated. Got a late delivery though and the box could have been better. Got a torn born. But books were fine. I bought it at Rs. 2300. Happy with it.

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.

I think it was a resell or at least someone had returned it and then it got packed again and poorly.The box was damaged, excessive use of tapes to keep it firm and prevent collapsing of the box - some of the books were turned, and some(4) were taped over the box.I have no complaints with the books and it is a nice collection but the product I received was mostly repacked with damaged packaging.

Good product absolutely great for collection little bit damaged to box sides and no1,no2 book were little bit damaged due to box but remaining it was good can’t complain because it was really grateful of seller and amazon for delivering the products in this coronavirus pandemic situation and that in remote areas. If it was to be delivered in city I would have reduced one start for packing and box damage 👍 but go for it without any doubt you will not regret
