"Works of Wilkie Collins..." bargain

KlondikeGeoff · 04-11-2009, 07:00 PM

For those who like Wilkie Collins, just found a great bargain on the Kindle store. This book, for only $4.79 has more than 50 novels, plays, stories, etc of this author. It has great indexes too, you can find works alphabetically and several other ways. Easy to navitage.

You can find it at:

And there are 33 of Collin's novels in the MobileRead download section for those who don't want to pay anything for the omnibus edition at Amazon.

Good catch, Elsi. However, I don't mind springing less than five bucks for all of his novels, plays and short stories. Of course, I'm an aficionado of his work.

When I'm going to find time to read them all is another matter.

It also won't clutter up the Kindle's library with tons of titles. Without folders, that has more worth. Does it have any supplemental material like good notes or essays on the work?

At that price, I seriously doubt it! The general rule is that "bargain basement" editions of the classics just have the text - perhaps an introductory essay. The more expensive editions - Penguin, Oxford World Classics, etc - get you all the notes.
