Submission guidelines:
We encourage users to submit posts that emphasize facts. Value judgements and personal information are welcome in the comments.
E.g.: It is better to submit a post titled:
1864: Jules Verne published Journey to the Center of the Earth with considerable commercial success
than it would be to submit a post titled:
I love Jules Verne's books and I am going to cosplay Jules Verne in Tokyo this year
However, it would be absolutely appropriate to make a comment consisting of the latter statement in a thread titled by the former statement.

Question: Mosses from an Old Manse (Nathaniel Hawthorne)
Hi, Hawthorne enthusiasts! I want to buy Mosses from an Old Manse, but I'm a bit confused about which edition I should pick up. I've read in several places that it's published as two separate volumes, but the majority of editions don't say "Volume 1."
I wanted to buy the Modern English Library Classics edition, because they make beautiful books, but one of the most popular Amazon reviews says, "I am astounded that NOWHERE in the product description or reviews is there ANY indication that this is only PART of the original book. The title is misleading. Mosses from an Old Manse and Other Stories would indicate that 'Mosses from an Old Manse' is a story included in this book. It isn't. There are only 11 of the original 26 stories."
What complete edition of this collection do you recommend?

Too bad both volleyball and basketball would not be invented until the 1890s. She could have had a great chance of being a sports star.
