Barnes & Noble Just Dropped Another Great Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off Book Sale

Barnes & Noble is once again offering a wide variety of hardcover collector's editions books for buy one, get one half off. A majority of these big hardcover tomes are exclusive to Barnes & Noble, so it's the perfect time to pick up one or more of these at a nice discount. You can get great unique copies of plenty of books you've probably already read and/or own, but the spines on these look great on a shelf, and of course the coverts make for great decoration on a coffee table. There's plenty of literary classics, some horror, sci-fi, autobiographies, and everything in between. Some of them even have their prices marked down a little bit and qualify for the deal for even more savings.

These discounts are part of Barnes & Nobles annual book haul sale, which runs from now until September 1.

Buy One Hardcover Book, Get Another 50% Off At Barnes & Noble

To start, I highly recommend Frank Herbert's Dune. You can probably stop reading after the first book, but if you can't stand the idea of not finishing the series (like me), we have a helpful guide on how to read the Dune books in order. Then, a lot of folks don't know that the Jurassic Park film is actually based on Michael Crichton's novel of the same name, and is another great read. Then if you're still obsessed with some of the literature you had to read in high school (also like me), books like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, The Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer, and The Divine Comedy are all available and included in the deal.

I'm also a huge horror fan, and Bram Stoker's Dracula exclusive harder collector's edition here is one of my favorites in terms of aesthetics. If you're a Stephen King fan, you can get a massive 1,104-page collection of three of his greatest stories in one book: Carrie, The Shining, and Salem's Lot.

If you're looking for a good mystery collection, there is a collection of Sherlock Holmes books by Arthur Conan Doyle here that is absolutely worth a look. Murder on the Orient Express is another great option as it has since inspired several movie adaptations.
