We like our books pretty.

Have I mentioned what a bargain the Everyman's Library editions are? Published by Knopf Books, this line of over 500 classic titles is beautifully bound and reasonably priced, at about $18 apiece. Their children's classics are a particularly great deal--gorgeous hardback editions of everything from Roald Dahl's The BFG to the Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel for a mere $14.95. These are the kind of books that will grow with a child, and look just as great sitting on a college bookshelf as they do in a kid's bedroom.
