    I found these books and I want to know more about it, but is it really worth $295?

    I always buy my books, only rarely do i use libraries (books that i don&#39;t like that much). nearly &#036;300 for those books...are they for school or something? Then i could understand the price. That&#39;s pretty insane, I wouldn&#39;t do it.

    With those high prices, either they are textbooks or out of print books. If Outline of History is referring to a work written by H.G. Wells, I bought two different editions of the book for only ten bucks at a used bookstore.

    They are general for collectors and historians and then of course book posers (you know the old people with huge libraries they have never read that you&#39;d love to have).

    Personally if I had the moeny I&#39;d go for it.
