---And sure enough, the Wellman slipcases arrived today also. I was able to put together one set with one of the couple extras I have. They fit very nicely and I offer it:

Wellman, Manly Wade THE SELECTED STORIES OF…, Night Shade '00-3, the complete five-volume set in slipcase, as new 195.00

---Dealt with 30-volume “Library of the World’s Best Literature: Ancient and Modern” published in 1896 by Peale & Hill picked up at a library sale a few years ago. The thing has 16,330 pages in its first 28 volumes. Volume 29 is the Biographical Dictionary and vol. 30 is Synopses of Books and General Index. The bindings are all crumbling but the pages are okay. I wonder if anyone has this thing scanned in on the Internet. Since it is public domain I think I would be a great thing to have on a disc. A lot of work doing it, though. But it would be a lot easier accessing the material if it were on a disc or up on the Internet--and it does look like a legitimate library of great literature circa the end of the 19th century.
