Yeah, I think this has been the best theme week for me so far, even if it's also the biggest one for repeats (only 7 new for my collection out of the lot).
I'm especially pleased to have annotated editions of Verne, Wilde, Frankenstein, and Wilkie Collins, whom I've been meaning to try for ages.
And also, I should note that unlike the usual public domain translations that B&N uses, Metamorphosis & Other Stories is a new modern one, done in the 90s, with the translator's notes in the back. And Inferno is the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow version with the Gustave Doré illustrations.
And they're definitely giving value for money in the bonuses department for the Joseph Conrad title. The Introduction to that alone takes up 30 pages of in-depth story analysis of Heart of Darkness, not to mention they footnote and annotate all the other stories included, not just HoD.
So, some really nice stuff this week.
