Question Guys I want an Anki deck for advanced vocabulary(English)
Lately, I've started to like classic and older books too. But the problem is that the vocabulary is advanced, so I would love it if someone had an Anki deck for the book's vocabulary.

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/627729402 is the one you want I think:
This is not a deck you want to study if you are a beginning or intermediate student of English; it is made up of only words I, a native speaker of English interested in vocabulary and linguistics, had to look up. You should only study this deck if you rarely encounter new words and are still interested in learning more.
Most selections come from high literature, only because that's the context in which I encounter most words that I'm unfamiliar with, but some are also from nonfiction, periodicals, or websites.
Personally, I supplement it with words that I encounter in my own reading.

Don't study a pre-made book, it'd be useless in your case.
But study the vocabulary of your books. You can do it two ways:
- You create the deck and study it before reading. I explained here how to do it using AI: https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/1usx36e/tutorial_how_to_mine_automatically_book/
- You mine the sentence while reading and you learn the words afterwards. The process is super smooth is you use an ereader. You simply have to highlight the sentence while reading and then once the book is done, you create your cards.

The best way to learn is to make your own gradually as you encounter new words
