Herman Melville. Redburn, White-Jacket, Moby-Dick
	Edited by: G. Thomas Tanselle Library of America ISBN: 0-940450-09-7 Series Number: 9 Product Code: 200099 Price: $35.00
Moby-Dick, Melville's great masterpiece, is presented in the authoritative Northwestern-Newberry text. This epic tale appears along with two other stories of the sea: Redburn, about a young man's initiation into the sailor's life, and White-Jacket, a semi-autobiographical account of experiences in the Navy.

Herman Melville. Typee, Omoo, Mardi
	Edited by: G. Thomas Tanselle Library of America ISBN: 0-940450-00-3 Series Number: 1 Product Code: 200016; 1333 pages Price: $40.00
The first volume of Melville's complete works includes three romances of the South Seas: Typee and Omoo, his exuberant accounts of the idyllic life in Polynesian island cultures, which remained his most popular works well into the 20th century, and Mardi, a combination love story, adventure, and political allegory set on a mythical Pacific island. These tales, written when Melville was in his late twenties, mark his beginnings as a writer and give early evidence of his genius and daring. "Melville's lifetime romance with the sea is well represented in these three early works." —New York Newsday

Herman Melville. Pierre, Israel Potter, The Confidence-Man, Tales
	Edited by: Harrison Hayford Library of America ISBN: 0-940450-24-0 Series Number: 24 Product Code: 200248 Price: $45.00
This third volume rounds out Melville's complete fiction with his dark and brilliant late works. The novels Pierre, Israel Potter, and The Confidence-Man forgo the buoyant high seas for a keen, bleak vision of life at home in America; they look forward to modernist fiction in their satire and formal experimentation. The Piazza Tales—including "Bartleby the Scrivener," "The Encantadas," and "Benito Cereno"—and uncollected stories show Melville's dazzling mastery of many styles. "Should find a place on every civilized person's bookshelf." —Los Angeles Times
