Library of America sale

Even at their regular prices, the books in the Library of America series have always been a bargain: beautifully edited editions of classic writers, printed in compact volumes on acid-free paper, and often containing more than 1,000 pages of text. But with an overstock sale going on, many of them look impossible to pass up. (Paul Bowles and American Sea Writing are the ones that grab my attention the most. The Paul Bowles volume includes not only stories but the marvelously titled travel book Their Heads are Green and Their Hands are Blue.)
