You mean to say that you have a physical copy of every book in that list? Do you read the original texts without translating on paper? Regardless, your collecton is awe-inspiring. 
Brine
he loves them… so much he doesn’t mind getting them all out so that he can post their titles here… unless you have a word document on your pc which you update every time you buy a new book?
Or did you really just get them all out 
?
Yes, those are the books I personally own. I made a list of them around the 400 mark in a word document, which I update every time I get another ten or so. It is now about 90% comprehensive, yet books lurk around that have missed the cataloguing system.

I’ve typed in my list before, so I’ll simply mention a few new books.
The first is The Fossils of the Bugess Shale by Briggs, Erwin and Collier. Yes, I know it’s not classical, but it’s terribly cool anyway. So many strange and wonderful creatures!
The major purchase of the last six months was G.O. Hutchinson Greek Lyric Poetry: A Commentary on Selected Larger Pieces. So far the book is always interesting, and not infrequently exasperating. He seems very bold in suggesting alternate readings. But I tend to be conservative about that.
The second major buy is Benjamin W. Fortson IV Indo-European Language and Culture: An Introduction. I imagine this is going to be the standard introductory text for IE historical linguistics for at least a generation.
Another question whiteoctave… where do you keep them all?
During holidays all the above are kept in my bedroom at home, floor-to-ceiling on 3/4 of the walls. In term, I take about 50 essential tomes to uni and during that time buy more in every few days, which come back for good at the end of each term.

As a postscript, if anyone happens to own (and is prepared to sell), or even sees for sale, any of these three books, I will reward them most handsomely.
Damon: A Manual of Greek Iambic Composition - Williams and Rouse, Blackie &Son, 1906 (I know that Chad, in Australia of all places, is lucky enough to have a copy of this!)
Introduction to Latin Lyric Verse Composition - Lupton - Macmillan, 1886 (et sq.) and/or its key.
Le Trimetre Iambique - Descroix (orig. Macon, 1931)
I see… not much room left of your room then . Well, at least they don’t really get in your way since most of them are safely at home and not in your room at uni.
One day you’ll have a nice library to put them all in I’m sure 
hi dave i don’t have Rouse’s “Damon”, i only have his “demonstrations” (like you). i remember reading that a textkit member called “elucubrator” (who doesn’t visit here anymore) had a copy of “Damon”. i sent elucubrator an email about it but got no reply…
I see, Chad. As the bizarre beast of Fortune would have it, after a search for some 18 months Rouse and William’s Damon has now found its way to me, and it should have reached college by post on Monday. To replace it in my top three hit list I suggest Kynaston’s Greek Iambics for Schools (Macmillan, c.1880).

This is a fine little book. I even contacted the publisher about releasing it, but the copyright still belongs to Colson’s heirs (or so I gather… British copyright law confuses me), but they have no idea how to find the heirs, and weren’t inclined to do so for me.
I think one of the reprint houses (B-C, maybe?) was trying to hunt down this information, too. It would be nice to see this in print again.
shouldn’t it be in praesente? tsk tsk…
thanks for the point cweb255, albeit a useless one. i wrote ‘praesens’ with all intent (sc. tempus); cf. Tac. passim.
thanks again you twat,

Er. Since this forum’s for beginners in these languages, a fuller explanation of where he went wrong might have a more enduring impact.
ha ha
As I read the ‘point’ I was thinking it not very wise to attempt a criticism of whiteoctave!
I’m afraid my library can’t come close to Whiteoctave’s…but I must say, that it has most of what I really want…FWIW my #1 Most wanted is Buist Fanning’s Verbal Aspect of New Testament Greek. In case it’s not completely clear, I, like Bert, am a Koine/Biblical Greek guy.

Which version do you have?
I used to have the greek-english and the greek-only version, but then I sold the greek-english one cuz it was redundant. The greek-only one is the best because it’s the only of the three versions that has the notes from the apostolic fathers.
I’d have to double check…but I think it is the Greek Only Version…I’m not in my library right now though…so I’ll have to get back to you.
Kopio, does your ‘Trench’s Synonyns of the New Testament’ have the Greek words in Greek characters or are they transliterated.
Mine has them transliterated which I find a bit annoying.
