[archived] Barnes and Noble Collector's Library Editions

[Mav]

Barnes and Nobles used to published this pocket sized, hardcover book of classics under the name of "Collector's Library".

Each book had a blue and green striped background and in the foreground was a large yellow box where the title, author name, and the words "Collector's Library" with a gray sailboat were. The back also had the same background and foreground, though the yellow box contained the words, "Barnes and Noble" and a summery. Each had an attached red ribbon and the edges were gold. Price was 5.95 USD.

I own two copies, Grimms' Fairy Tales, and Northanger Abbey. Nowadays, B&N publishes a larger, paperback edition with a colorful front cover. The blue pocketbooks are out of print, I think.

I've searched the database, using the ISBN. They're categorized correctly, they have the words, "Collector's Library", but Grimms' has no cover available, and Northanger Abbey has a cover, but it's not the blue pocketbook one.

(A search finds: "The Count of Monte Cristo (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (B&N Classics Hardcover)", but no cover. =/
