“with a new season comes a new booklist update,” as the old saying runs. so here is the most recently updated version of my own list. the posting of it does somewhat transgress the bounds of vanity in certain respects, but i flatter myself that the number of interesting queries picked up here and via google merit its being updated once more.
as ever, i am interested to see the Classics sets of other collectors, not least for the reason that there are a number of items that desperately need to be checked off my wants list.

Once again, I am green with envy :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

With that nice of a collection, I’m guessing you must be either A) an eccentric millionaire OR B)the child of an eccentric millionaire :stuck_out_tongue:

Other than that, I can’t figure for the life of me how you can afford all these books! How long have you been collecting them??

I always think I have such a great library (and quite honestly it is a VERY nice Koine Library) until I see your list…well…one of these days I hope to have an entire room in my home as a library/sitting room I might possibly have a collection of that size by then (it should be years from now)

thanks for the comments, K.
the books are all paid for by myself, none are inherited, and the collection has taken some 20 months to acquire. the reasons i have managed to acquire a fair sum are threefold:

(i) Cambridge, where I study for most of the year, is perhaps the best place in England to pick up second-hand Classics books, and I am always on the look out in some six or seven bookshops there.
(ii) most, i.e. around 90%, of the books are second-hand; and good booksellers give fair prices to second-hand books.
(iii) most of my money comes from my student loan, since i find i can get by on spending very little besides books.

~D

No sense blaming his parents. How about the eccentric child of a millionaire.

Wow! Now, I’d have as many books as you if I only had the money.

My collection cannot compare to yours, and the only classical text I remember to have are Iliad and Odyssey. :blush:

With second hand do you mean used books? If that’s so, to my disgrace, second hand books here are sold in pretty bad conditions, some of them are just lame.

The problem here is that… well, people don’t read… anything. So libraries are like boutiques for the rich ones. And then you find out that most of the rich ones don’t care about books at all, instead they go to the mall and buy one of those color armbands that say “Livestrong” and such (the ones “against” cancer, aids, etc) for the modic price of 25$ because that is being used in USA etc etc etc… I just hate people like that.

Well, so we, the poor people, are the ones who have to gather the money we can and buy from 1 to 3 books every 3 months… But it’s so funny to go to a library, because for example, I’m one that start to see EVERY book, and read some pages, and compare prices, content, quality, and run from one spot of the library to another, and ask this and that, and leave a book and pick another, and then pick the one I left; I spend some hours doing that. While I do it, people just look at me so weird, maybe thinking that you have to dress with an expensive suit and put an arrogant face as prerequisite to enter a library. I just hate them, but they are funny anyway.

Sorry for this long complain against people here, but the difference can be so shocking sometimes.

I would be very interested to know what books you desperately need.

Right now the only two I wish I could hunt down are Rijksbaron’s Greek Grammar (of the verb) and West’s Greek Metre.

Better than Oxford? Having never been to Cambridge I really have no idea. But I’d be interested to know.

certainly better than Oxford; the removal of the Classics Bookshop to Burford really dealt it a strong blow. not only by dint of the fewer number of Classics books but also the slower pace of stock turnover, as i often hear, must it be placed lower.
as for a list of the books i really need, i’ll post one tomorrow.

~D

Gosh. I’ll be making a few trips to Cam soon then.

I think there’s a good bus service between Ox and Cam at the moment isn’t there?

i hope that includes such as Bentley’s “Dissertation upon the Epistles …” and “Horace”, and the Varii. Otherwise i might have to start getting scared.

Incidentally, is there any value in having four different editions of Liddell & Scott, bar the academic. (Err… if “academic” can really be used in this context.)

The Greek Metre by West that’s on Abebooks.com is not the one your after?

Regards,
Adelheid

The book for sale by Goodman on Abebooks is certainly the right one.

should anyone come across any of these (ideally from a bookseller who does not how rare the majority are), then I will be only to quick to shower them with payment!

~D

Aaaghhhh! It is!

Every time I’ve looked there in the past they only had the shorter introductory book.

It will be mine!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

hi dave, every time i read your updated booklist i wonder again about what you’re reading at the moment and where you’re at in cambridge, i don’t mean the college but how many years you’ve been there and what it’s like studying classics there and things like that. are you studying graduate or undergraduate, did you do greek at school as well, do you plan to go on and teach or are you teaching? things like that :slight_smile:

Hey Chad, thanks for your interest. Well, I’m nineteen so therefore am approaching the final term of my second year as an undergraduate. Studying Classics at Cam has completely changed my outlook on the field - the huge scope of the discipline, and the evident need for much more work to be done, were made clear to me. Needless to say, for me studying here is the most enriching thing I have ever done.
As to the Lat and Grk I’ve done in the past I did five years of Lat and four of Greek at school, but this is still much less than the average undergrad. Most people, alas, are pushed not self-pulled.
So addicted am I to all things Classics that I hope after graduation to take an MPhil, then a PhD, then acquire fellowship at a college then spend my life researching various matters textual and traditional.
And you?

~D

I’ll see if they have unpoetische wörter at the local bookstore here, but if they don’t have it they go and search for it - they’re very good at finding rare German books. That would probably cost though :frowning: - you never know though, they might have a copy lying around.

that’s very kind, Emma. if you do see it around, i would be most interested to hear from you. as for setting up a search for it, you are right that it would not be very financially friendly!

~D

I own Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis.

It’s a first edition!!! :exclamation: :exclamation: :smiley: :astonished:

No seriously whiteoctave you are insane. And I have been called unstable!
My wonderful maths teacher once said to me, “You’re off i’ like, nutty like, they say intelligent people are a bit loopy like, like Einstein like.”

I said to her and an old friend or two you think I is insane, I know a lad named david who filled his room with books and sleeps in but a 1mx2x0.5 cavatum!

Hey I want one of Diggle’s book! no fair! Speaking of fairs the gypsies have come to da park I think I may be able to find Le trimètre iambique des iambographes à la comédie nouvelle. I have met many around here already by the name Descroix.

You might want to visit this page every now and then, whiteoctave:
