Tom, that's just nuts - Bri asked me last week if we had a copy of Mockingbird! I ordered it from Amazon for her, and gave her the DVD to tide her over. Of course, I always have to order at least $25 to get free shipping at Amazon, so I threw in Kafka's The Castle and a hardback edition of The Great Gatsby.
Are you familiar with the Library of America? They have a huge classic collection of American authors published in extremely high quality hardback - cloth cover, sewn binding, acid-free paper that will never yellow, and attached silk ribbon bookmark. Each volume contains about 4 novels. They have a complete cataglog for Faulkner and a ton of other American writers. Each volume lists for $35-$50, but they're typically $22 on Amazon. Excellent way to build a lasting, quality collection of American classics. They're sharply designed to look really good on a bookcase, and the cost per novel is about $5.50 for incredible lasting quality.
