In Waterstones today, I picked up David Copperfield and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland for £1.50 each, and a boxed set of twelve Shakespeare plays for £9.50 (sadly, unlike good DVD box-sets, this didn't come with any deleted scenes, interviews, or even a trailer for Cardenio, but at that price I'm not about to complain.)
If there's one sure-fire way to improve literature, it's to get it cheap.

I am currently sitting next to this supposed box set. It is delightful simply because the books contained in it appear to have nothing to do with each other -- they're all different colours, with different typefaces, designs and spine layouts. They even use capitals differently. It just looks like a box of similarly-sized books.
That's Dover Thrift Editions for you.
