5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic quality + Something for everyone.
I bought this as a gift and it came in perfect condition, the books include lots of classics (as the title may suggest) including not just novels but also collections of poetry. 80 little books will keep a reader occupied for a good amount of time. The fonts aren't too small, but if someone does have trouble with smaller text then reading glasses will be required. Otherwise, this is a very well presented and well priced gift for anyone, and will look good on a shelf too.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to celebrate Penguins birthday
I love this box set. There is a great selection of classics that have a nice simple black cover - a must but for any book lover like me. When reading this I found myself a new favourite philosopher and a new favourite poet. The set includes a wide range of books from a selection of poems to a biography of Caligula.The only improvement I would suggest is that the box is too tight, but if you but it on its back with the spines of the books facing the ceiling you can yet them out easier. With that said I love the design of the books and the box - they really met with my expectations.

Very pleased with item despatched and delivered promptly. One of the books was missing another had been doubled up but this was rectified as soon as we raised the problem
5.0 out of 5 stars Really lovely
I was hesitant on whether to buy this for quite a while-although it's a reasonable price for 80 books it's still quite expensive, the various negative reviews about missing books, and the non-level penguin spines... but I am so glad I did there are so many books in there that I am so excited to read! A really special gift for any booklover and I can confirm it was definitely worth it despite my reservations. This is the first product I've ever reviewed I think that conveys how happy I am with this beautiful set!

Really happy with my purchase
5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind.
Truly unique. It's very hard to find a similar product from other publishers. Great addition to the Penguin Modern Classics and Great Ideas Box Sets and the books complement each other very well. These three box sets combined give you a very wide range of the finest literature available at a reasonable price.

Best impulsive shopping ever.
I started looking for one book and bought the whole box set instead. And I have to say that I am just delighted at the mere sight of this wonderful collection of 80 different types of works of 80 well-known authors. I was a little skeptical because the reviews on Bolo.com, but i must that, my experience has been entirely different.1. I received properly packed, not-at-all torn from any side box set.2. The quality of books is great. The size, as apparent from the dimension of independent books, is a little smaller, as justified by the name 'little black classic', than that of the usual Penguin Classics.3. All books are for keeps. This is one of my best purchases ever. Even though some titles may not interest me right now, I am still looking forward to exploring each one of them, as rest assured, these are all acclaimed works and loved by a variety of people across the world.So, I've attached a few screenshots that give you an idea about1. How it looks2. What are the contents3. The size as compared to a normal Penguin Classic (E.g. Three Men in a Boat. It goes without saying that this book is not a part of the box set and is only used for comparison)
Tiny books.
This has 80 tiny books and I don’t recognise most of the titles
Incredible value, curated literary education in a box.

Lo compré porque había visto varias reseñas en redes sociales y encontré que en Bolo estaba más barato que en cualquier lugar. Haciendo cuentas (3 GBP el libro, según dice al revés), creo que ahorras bastante dinero comprando los 80 juntos. Cuando me llegó, venía envuelto en una caja, lo que hizo que no tuviera ninguna esquina del box set dañada. Lo que sí noto es que los libros tienen pequeños defectos (hilos de silicón y dobleces por andar en la caja), aunque no me quejo del vendedor, porque, de nuevo, son 80 libros.
