La pléiade
Do you own books from La Pléiade ?
Which ones ?

I do, I have Jean Genet's novels, Aristophanes' theater and Dostoievski's Demons.

Yeah I have a collection, Mérimée, Stendhal, Flaubert, Maupassant, Hugo, Huysmans, d'Aurevilly, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Mallarmé, Paul Valéry, Proust, Camus, Gide and Apollinaire
I consider my collection to be pretty much complete for now and I've stopped collecting unless ridiculous bargains show up
Be aware that
>some of the editions underwent revisions, for example the Verlaine edition has different substantial revisions so you need to check the page count if buying used
>older editions won't have as many notes as newer editions
I've bought all my books used and they're generally in good condition except my Flaubert set was kept in a smoker's house unfortunately

All of them. The entire collection is sitting in my hard drive right now

What is the German La Pléiade?
If not are there any relatively affordable, well built and thoroughly annotated editions of classics in German?

Seems quite pricey and rare sadly
I started studying German so I might look out for some good deals

Also could you tell me how much a new hardcover edition costs in Germany and how much you pay for a typical used copy?

I have Blaise Cendrars, received it for my 16th birthday and I've never read it
