Didn't manage to take a pic while I was there, but this is the series in question

I got some money for Christmas and I want to spend it on well-made books that won't crumble to dust in a couple of decades.
There are several publishers I know of that make (or made) good-looking, well-built books: Folio Society, Heron Books, Easton Press, and Franklin Library. The last two are difficult for me to find because I live in Europe so they're mostly off the table. I own a couple of Folios and I know their quality has dropped markedly over the last two decades so I am now thinking about buying something from Heron Books.
>picrel
is the "Greatest Masterpieces of Russian Literature" series by Heron Books but I'm having trouble finding information about translations, specifically Dostoevsky (C&P), Gogol (Dead Souls), Turgenev (Fathers and Sons), and Pushkin. Anyone of you anons have these editions? Are they as well-made as they look? Are they worth the price?
tl;dr:
>What are publishers or sites where I can find high quality editions of classics (with good translations where applicable)?
>Are Russian lit Heron Books worth it?
