Here are the LEC books I'm currently looking for:


SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY

ONE WORLD

THE JUNGLE

THE POEMS OF WILLIAM BLAKE

OUR TOWN

POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACKS FOR THE YEARS 1733-1758

POEMS AND A MEMOIR BY SEAMUS HEANEY

THE CAPTIVE MIND

A SEASON IN HELL

THE WHITE SPIDER

HIROSHIMA

SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET

THE TALE OF THE WANDERING MONK

THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES

THE COMPLETE POEMS OF ROBERT FROST


Some of those are quite expensive, others not so much. If you have any of them and are interested in selling/trading please let me know. I know many of these if not all can be found on ebay/abebooks etc. However I would obviously rather deal with someone I know than a book seller.

>1 astropi: A search on this forum led to an SERP (Search Engine Results Pages), which in turn led me to this 7-year+ old thread. Out of curiosity, how far along have you come?

>2 mr.philistine: haha wow, thanks for the blast from the past :)

I acquired the following:

OUR TOWN
POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACKS FOR THE YEARS 1733-1758
THE CAPTIVE MIND
THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREES


It's not that I can't necessarily afford say "A SEASON IN HELL" or other books in my old LEC wish list, but of course with other wonderful letterpress books being released, and when enablers show you other books you wish you had, well there's only so much money in the pot. Still, I'm glad I was able to find the books I did, they're all wonderful. And of course if anyone has any of the books in my wish list for trade, let me know!

>3 astropi: The problem with these forums is that there are too many enablers...

>4 Lukas1990: indeed! so many beautiful books...
and despite the "aggravation", I think deep down we all love our enablers :)
