I'd like to talk about the books published by the Library of America; you may have spotted them in libraries and bookstores. I think they are the classiest, most beautiful books around. Their covers boast photos of the famous authors they contain as well as famous American artworks. And the range of the writers they've published runs from Twain and Melville to modern ones such as O'Neill and Frost, and even crime novels by Cain, Chandler, Jim Thompson,et al! Their latest is anthologies of 20th Century American poetry. They are just the best hardcover books out today, and if you haven't looked into them, you owe yourself! tjoeb};>
