Talk:Franklin Library
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I appear to have subscribed to a collection in the early 1980s that does not exactly appear here. It is closest to the 100 Greatest Books of all Time (1974-1982); but has the following differences:
Aristotle - Rhetoric and On Poetics (rather than Politics) - also binding appears unique (so far). The volumes of Rhetoric and On Poetics I have found on eBay have a different binding than mine.
Plutarch [volume] is entitled "Selected Lives' rather than "Twelve Illustrious Lives"
Racine - Six Tragedies - is closest to a volume I have that is entitled simply "Greek Tragedies" [not in Wiki list] and the volume has no reference in it to Jean Racine
Some of my volumes are in storage still, so there might be other differences. If anyone has an explanation, I would appreciate it. I did not think my collection was to have a full 100 volumes. Maybe this was a smaller version published for some time.

Simple explination if they are not bound in full leather. You most likely owm the Oxford Library of the World's Great Books (quarter-bound, 1981-1985) which was also published by the Franklin Library simultaneously. The collection does not appear here as the Oxford collection shares some of the titles of the 100 Greatest Books of All Time collection; however, the Oxford does not contain 100 volumes as you mention (I believe it is around 60, but don't quote me). Moreover, the 100 Greatest Books Collection (1974-1982), next to the Signed 60 Collection (1977-1982), is one of the most beautiful, comprehensive, and valuable collections ever published, and thus it would be redundant to list them both here.
See:

or

for additional information. Either way, it is still a beautiful, comprehensive, and valuable collection in itself.

[edit] Mile-long Lists?
Would it make any sense to extract the lists from this page into a separate article (or six)? -- Avocado 01:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
