Building a library?

Q. So basically I want to build a library. I was looking through WordsWorth Classics Library edition and they were starting to release classic novels in hardcover but haven't released any.

So I was wondering whether anyone knows any book company that sells several classics but with the same spines/book covers? I was also wondering if anyone knew anything about where you go to get your books recovered? Anyway thanks

Answer
If you want some really expensive, but beautiful, books, get them through Easton Press. They have all of Jane Austen's books, all of Charles Dickens and many other authors. They also have a series of books called the 100 Greatest Books ever written http://www.eastonpressbooks.com/leather/product.asp?code=0001
