In the Reading recommendations forum, there has been some discussion recently regarding a new collection of classics from Delphi Classics. Previously available only at Amazon for a very reasonable $2.99 each for LARGE collections of classic works by a single author, these books are now available directly from Delphi Classics at their new web site. Due to restrictions, some books are not available for US and/or European customers, but they make that very clear on their website.

Instead of the previous US $2.99 for most books, the books are now priced at $1.99 or less. A few of the books are currently priced at $1.49. This weekend only, you can also get an additional 20% off your order by using the code BOOKWORM (which is appropriate, I think). I ordered the complete collection of books I had not already purchased from Amazon.

The website indicates that the books will soon be available in DRM-free EPUB, but currently they're only available in the mobi (Kindle) format, which is also DRM-free.

Delphi Classics is currently compiling a second series of classic titles, but about 24 or so titles are available now. "Titles" may be somewhat misleading, as each volume is a large collection of works from the author, including novels and/or plays, poetry, short stories, letters, etc, and some are heavily illustrated (over 3,000 illustrations in the Mark Twain and W. M. Thackeray collections). There is also usually at least one biography about the author included. Thus, the books from Delphi Classics are quite large, both in page count and file size (over 125Mb for Mark Twain!).

A direct link to the new Delphi Classics website is provided below.
