Description: I love thrift editions or classic editions. This is the vision of Johann Gutenberg realizedI love thrift editions or classic editions. This is the vision of Johann Gutenberg realized to it's best end, access to the best bits of literature for less than a value meal at McDonald's. Walden is one of my favorites; this is a wonderful conception of someone who feels that he doesn't belong in the world as it exists and does what he wants in order to change his relationship to it.

This is one of the books that defines King as the Shakespeare of our time; he creates an atmosphere and an environment that few can with words.

Read it to believe it, Rollins' music is something to behold. His writing is something completely different and will grab the edges of your mind and thought.
