Thread Name: Defining "Modern Library" From: Brad.C.Gilbert@removed> Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 16:29:45 -0500 Thanks... One question though. How do you define "modern library editions?" Is it based on date? ------------------------------------- From: Scot Kamins <kamins@removed> Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 14:34:32 -0700 As we define it here (and the only topic discussed in this listServ), The Modern Library is a specific series of books published first by Boni & Liveright 1917-1925 (or 26), thence by The Modern Library Company to about 1932 (or so), thence by Random House to the early 70's, again 1980-1985 (or so), and again from 1990 to the present. They are largely reprints. We are poor collectors here, but we are big-hearted and mean no harm. For far more information on this series than any right-thinking human could want, visit http://www.dogeared.com You are thinking of terms such as modern first editions, or even hyper-modern. -------------------------------------
