Lewis library comparisons

The man. The myth.

Anybody else get this thing back when it was affordable?

I paid about $45 from Amazon.co.uk (wasn't available from the US Amazon) back in 2004. It goes for at least double that now. Best Lewis bargain I've ever seen.

Contains "On the Reading of Old Books" with a prefatory note telling where it was originally printed. That scoundrel!

Oopsie-oops, I nearly forgot my favoritest bestest collectables: Nine of the Twenty five Volumes of the Anglo-American journal VII which is availble online @ the Wade Center. www.wheaton.edu/wadecenter/seven/seven.html

The Wade was founded by Clyde Kilby, Barbara Reynolds, et al., on the Wheaton College campus, Wheaton, IL. The Wade and Bodleian (Oxford) Libraries entered a joint relationship establishing the largest collection of Lewisian documents/books in the Universe. VII is the annual/biennial magazine/journal publishing world authorities on the seven like minded authors, and except for George MacDonald, contemporaries of the Inklings: Lewis, Tolkien, Chesterton, Sayers, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, and MacDonald. Contents: commentaries, literary criticism, news and book reviews.
"The 'great golden chain of Concord' has united the whole of Edmund Spenser's world.... Nothing is repressed; nothing is insubordinate. To read him is to grow in mental health." The Allegory Of Love (Faerie Queene)

I found Alan Jacob's The Narnian a quite revealing biography of Lewis. Suggestions for other biographies of Lewis?
