Puffin Hardcover Classics

October 27, 2017 by Bluestocking Bookshelf in Collections

These neat little clothbounds are a Bookstagram favorite because of their whimsical designs and bright colors. I'm convinced it's impossible to take a bad photo of them.

This collection was a pain to complete, largely because Grimms' Fairy Tales has been out of print for years and the few legitimate copies I found through bookfinder.com were always in the $500 - $1k range. However, after searching for well over a year, I stumbled across a copy sold via Amazon Canada for $20. When it arrived at my house and I found that it was, in fact, the correct edition, you would not believe the screaming that ensued (I think the pets are scarred for life). 

Moral of the story: I'm an incredibly impatient person, so if I can find an impossible edition, anyone can.
