Well, I looked in Wikipedia because it is the source of all knowlegde in the universe (or at least on the intertubes)

Quote:
In the traditional sense, a Classic Book is one written in ancient Greek or latin (see classics).
(Um... I can't read ancient Greek)

Quote:
The phrase 'classic book' or 'classic literature' has taken on new meaning - many view any pre-1900 book still in print as a classic, or titles that is hundred years or older and still in print, and many books are classed as modern classics because of their contemporary significance or perceived future significance...
Ah that's a bit better. How do you know if a book is still in print? If there is an ebook for it, does that mean it is still in print.
