This is a recent set of hardbacks book modelled upon the Loeb Classic Library.
Introduction

Essentially this sets include the two Epics (Mahabharata and Ramayana) - presumably became definitive around the beginning of the Common Era, and this "Second" flowering of Sanskrit literature lasted for more than a millenium
The catalog:

The following are in common with Basham's list in the other blog post:
Amaru, Bhartrhari, Bilhana - Love Lyrics
Asvaghosa - two works (Buddhacarita, Saundarananda)
Kalidasa - Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava, Raghuvamsa, Vikramorvasiya, Malavika and Agnimitra, Meghaduta
Jayadeva - Gita Govinda
Dandin - Dasakumaracarita
Bana - Kadambari, Harsacarita

Bhasa - (though the work selected in Clay is Urubhanga)

Ramayana
Visakhadatta - Mudraraksasa

It seems like the Clay library includes more Buddhist and Jaina work, while Basham's list is mostly secular works.
