CCE 1000 Good Books List

Type: Preset list created by cej1027

Description: Editions aren't necessarily exact. Some are sets when they aren't listed as such and vice versa. Many books on the list say 'and others' by the same author, but I only listed the mentioned book or the first in the series. The poetry is general since the list isn't usually specific.
