Easton Press. Their books are hella expensive, but very good quality. They're sold on a subscription basis.

Barnes & Noble (and probably other publishers) have a few here and there, but they're of inferior quality, in general.

Easton Press offers a version of the Harvard Classics, among other collections. Till I moved to Europe I was getting "The Masterpieces of Science Fiction Collection". Also the Harvard Classics collection was compiled in 1910 so you'll definately want to add more to it.

I can not say enough about how awesome these books are. The are leather bound with guilded pages on acid neutral paper. These book will last generations.

Check out their site.

Speaking of which, I grew up with the "Heritage Press" collection (mid-to-late 1960's). I'm wondering whatever happened to them and I am looking for alternatives such as The Easton Press collection.

No, it's not in the budget at this time - more like a long-term (lifetime) project.
