Curated at Juniper Custom in Boulder, Colorado

For more than a century, Everyman's Library has brought the world's great books to readers in editions made to last. Its Contemporary Classics series carries that tradition forward to the writers who shaped modern literature.

This set gathers ten of them, selected by our team from available titles into a cohesive collection, with authors such as Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie and Haruki Murakami. Each hardcover bears the hallmarks of the series: decorative endpapers, a silk ribbon marker, a rounded spine, acid-free paper and an introduction by a distinguished writer. It is a natural foundation for a reader building a serious library of modern fiction, and a handsome gift for anyone who has lost an afternoon to Morrison or Atwood.

We do not sell books individually.
