Also the Great Expectations would be a great addition as mine has a not-so-lovely cover.

Sounds like they are around in your country.<br /><br />Hi Matt - the joys of trying to find books from other countries! Maybe the Penguin website might be the way to go?<br /><br />Hi Samantha - I am the queen of justification when it comes to books! (and shoes!). I agree with you about Borders - great for browsing but not always so great for buying. I find such differences between the stores too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971901652392645980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-6164237004359595512009-06-06T16:56:40.826-07:002009-06-06T16:56:40.826-07:00I have been a bit absent from our Borders stores s...I have been a bit absent from our Borders stores since they were taken over by Angus and Robertson. I noticed that since then they have increased their prices (over the normal rrp and higher than other books stores) and stopped handing out (so often) their discount vouchers. However, I still like to browse there and they do generally have good stock.<br /><br />I might just have to take a closer look if they are stocking these books - they are really beautiful. Though I do find it hard to buy second copies of books I already have so that would leave me with Crime and Punishment or The Picture of Dorian Gray! But on further reflection I think I could probably do with a nicer and better translation of Madame Bovary - see I can justify anything when I want to ;-)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747440460896344541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-60179688010467034102009-06-06T12:10:35.689-07:002009-06-06T12:10:35.689-07:00For collection purpose at least I have to secure a...For collection purpose at least I have to secure a copy of Crime and Punishment.
