This is an actual guide to Books that Changed the World, not just a listing of the books.  There have been a total of 90 books produced for Books That Changed the World.  The complete list is published below in numerical order starting with the first book published for the series.  Easton Press currently charges $54.00 with shipping and handling for each book.  The price increased in early 2007.  Only a few titles are in stock at one time.   Some titles are out of stock for several years (titles are out of stock a lot longer than in other series).  Easton Press will remove any books you do not want from the series.  It is possible to purchase individual titles directly from customer service.  (Books Change World for Sale)

Which Books are Duplicated in Different Series?
Easton Press sometimes has the same book in a different series.  They charge different prices for different series.  Most of the books are identical.  Some books might have different artwork.  This series contains several books found in the Science Classic Series.  Buy the Science Classics from this series since they are cheaper such as:  Relativity, Principia, Revolutionbus, and Double Helix (artwork varies a little in color).  This series also contains several books from Sacred Writings of World's Great Religions.  Buy the Sacred Writings of World's Great Religions from this series since they are cheaper such as:  Gospels, Torah, Tao Te Ching, Dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita, Koran (art work is the same in both series).  The art of war is cheaper from this series than Military History(Science Classics for Sale) (Military History for Sale)

The World's 100 Greatest Books are cheaper than this series.  I would only buy Politics and Origin of Species from 100 Greatest Books.

What Discontinued Books are the Most Valuable?
Several books from this series have been discontinued.  Below are the most valuable books with average Ebay selling price over the last several years.
     -Mein Kampf - $550  
     -Being and Nothingness - $140

How to Receive Faster Shipping
It may take several weeks for your order to arrive if you purchase an individual book from the series.  It also takes other books ordered from Easton Press several weeks to arrive.  This is because book orders are collected together and shipped out when enough orders are placed.  It is possible for customer service to "drop" your order.  This means the order will ship the following Saturday for orders placed before close business Tuesday.   Dropping an order tells the warehouse to actually pack up the book and ship it out.  The closer you are to the East Coast, the sooner your book arrives since Easton Press is located on the East Coast.  The most economical expedited shipping method is to have your book go out UPS ground.  This will "drop" the book and send it out faster than the USPS. 

Promotional Offers
This series offers Common Sense at a reduced price of $10.20.  One must often call customer service to obtain the discounted book if it does not happen automatically.  Be sure to call their customer service if you have not received your discounted book.
