The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0147502683/qid%3D1119038467/sr%3D2-1/ref%3Dpd%5Fbbs%5Fb%5F2%5F1/103-2032720-2243818

The Penguin Classic Library: Available for the first time in one complete collection only at Amazon.com.

For more than half a century Penguin has been the leading publisher of classics in the English-speaking world. Since the publication of the first Penguin Classic in 1946--E.V. Rieu's translation of The Odyssey--Penguin's mission has been to make the great books of all time available at a reasonable cost. To this end, Penguin is dedicated to making sure that these books speak to contemporary readers by embracing excellence in scholarship, translation, and book design.

The Penguin Classics list is an organic thing: new books are brought into the series and others are removed as tastes and interest in literature evolve. Penguin's ability to react to the always-evolving universe of great literature is one of the many things that has made Penguin the leader in classics publishing.

Now, for the first time, the entire line of Penguin Classics is available in one complete collection for home, office, or institutional libraries. For 2005, the Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection consists of 1,082 titles, all great works of literature totaling nearly half a million pages. From Renaissance philosophy to the poetry of revolutionary Russia, from the spiritual writings of India to the travel narratives of the early American colonists, from The Complete Pelican Shakespeare to The Portable Sixties Reader, there are classics here to educate, provoke, entertain, and enlighten readers of all interests and inclinations.

2. Heard about it via Fark.
If anything, I'd hate to be the guy that has to deliver it.

3. I would love to have all of those books,
but $7,989.99 is a bit out of my price range. :shrug:
