When this thread began it was supposed to list, was it not, the 100 BEST poetry books of the 20th century, rather than 'Here's one I rather like myself'?
I don't understand how else the books can be selected. In the first post Tony said

Since the idea here is to share some of our private gems and spur others to purchase these books for their own libraries, you must find a place on the Internet where this book is for sale and post a link to that website.
One person's gem is another person's rock but that isn't a problem with the selection method. What is the alternative to choosing books one likes? Tony could have posted a pre-selected list of 100 best books and asked for comments on those books but he didn't. That may be a good idea for a future thread. This one is about "private gems."
