collection to scholars, students on this campus we really want to promote the use of collections for undergrads and graduate students. one of my favorites, again, many of you may have recounted in paperback. here is pride and prejudice. and it is in this small three volume set with what is probably one of the most famous lines there is the literature. the truth universally knowledge that a single man in possession of good fortune. we have all the first editions of jane austen, one of my particular favorite authors. in addition to some of these classic authors we have a few more than offset you hear. arthur conan doyle, many of the sherlock holmes editions. this is one where he uses the idea of the single print -- fingerprint to solve a crime. moving over here the collection is also represented by american literature and authors. mark twain, we have a very interesting collection of works by mark twain, tom sawyer first edition. herman melville, the whale, which is actually 5 million volumes from the university of oklahoma. and a collection of louis and may alcott's work. and i want to point out,
