The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection
Okay, first of all, books are cool. Classic literature is especially cool. This is a lot of classic literature! More than a thousand books, to be precise. Seven hundred pounds of books! Can you imagine how cool that would be to have packed into a small room!
Unfortunately it is entirely impractical to ever be bought by a private individual. Seriously, at eight thousand dollars in American moneys, this costs more than a new heart, a pair of kidneys and a spare lung. I can only imagine it exists for establishments like libraries who want to buy a whole swack of literature all at once. Not a small library either.
Okay. Kudos for sheer awesomeness burned for impracticality. 8/10
Any crazed individual consumer who ever buys this gets 10/10 though.

8k ain't so much. Some peoples throw around a lot of money on stupid shit. I seen people riding around on miniature little motor-bikes!
But little motor bikes don't cost 8k.
If I had 8k sitting around and nothing to spend it on, I would buy these books.
my point was that if people are going to waste money on miniature motor-bikes, then why not books?
