Carol (carolfromnc) | -671 comments @Lesle or @Rosemarie, just checking. To be added to this thread, a book should be a classic using the published-at least 50-years-ago standard. Is that right?

Children's books need to be published only 40 years ago, FWC are 30 years or older, Plays 30 years or older. The rest are 50 years or older.
