Books have long captured the love, imagination, even the veneration, of readers everywhere. Emily Dickinson envisions these precious objects as “Frigates” that “take us Lands away”; Alberto Rios calls them “the deli offerings of civilization itself.” This affection extends to the hallowed gathering places of the written word: the libraries and bookshops where one can best hear “a choir of authors murmuring inside their books,” as Billy Collins has it.
The poets collected here range from the writer of Ecclesiastes in the third century BCE through such pillars of world literature as Catullus, Horace, T’ao Ch’ien, Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Pierre de Ronsard, Lope de Vega, Shakespeare, Goethe, and Wordsworth; more recent luminaries include Jorge Luis Borges, C. P. Cavafy, Gabriela Mistral, Wallace Stevens, Iku Takenaka, Pablo Neruda, Wislawa Szymborska, Maya Angelou, and Derek Walcott.
A remarkably diverse treasury of literary celebrations, Books and Libraries is sure to take pride of place on the shelves of the book-obsessed.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.

Good buy
Color: A-Green Luminous
OK, This is a inexpensive watch. I bought this watch as an every day work watch not a dress watch. I have worn it for several months and this is what I have experienced. It is comfortable to wear. It is lite and compact. The strap is comfortable and durable. I have gotten it wet and it has not been effected. When I got it I synchronized it with an atomic clock, it has kept perfect time. I have read other reviews that stated it did not keep good time, this has not been my experience. The dial is easy to read even in low light. the fact that other buyers have had some issues leads me to believe the manufacture my have lacks quality control. Over all, for $20 I have found it to be a good value. I would have given it 5 stars; but battery life remains to be seen.

Perfect casual Friday shoe with great comfort and style
Size: 10, Color: Optic White/Egret
These have quickly become my go-to shoes for casual Fridays at work. The fit is true to size, and they’re both comfortable and stylish without trying too hard. They pair really well with jeans or khakis, so they’re easy to dress up or down depending on the day.
