Antique book of Les MiserablesI thought this was very cool, especially for anybody who can read French. (or is just obsessed)http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Book-HUGOS-LES-MISERABLES-1908-1st-ed-Buffum_W0QQitemZ330246065062QQihZ014QQcategoryZ29223QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

Ugh, they sliced it down to 500 pages? Unforgivable. And, apparently, either dumbed it down for students of French or loaded it down with a dictionary (no wonder they could only fit 500 pages of Hugo in there).
Ebay is packed full of old editions of LM. If you're interested in one, you can do a whole lot better than that. I got a gorgeous unabridged edition of the Wraxall translation, illustrated, and over 100 years old, for $15 including shipping. |

I know, that part sucks. I just thought it was neat how old it was. It's definitely not supposed to replace the unabridged version! Just a nice little collectors item. |

That's pretty cool... 1908. And it went for $4.00!
How cool would it be, if you moved into an old house, with all it's furniture and everything, and you were looking in a drawer and found a copy from the year it was published? |

That would be very cool indeed
