Description
This is full genuine leather bound in new and sealed condition, never opened or read. The publisher’s notes booklet is inside the plastic wrap. The last photo is for exemplification only. This book is the perfect find, perhaps the last one to be found in plastic wrap. It laid in waiting for nearly 40 years to find its unique loving owner. 'Billy Budd, Sailor and The Piazza Tales' by Herman Melville is one of Franklin Library's ‘100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature’, with wonderful attributes: •Fully and tightly bound in genuine leather. •22kt gold accents deeply inlaid on the "hubbed" spine and covers. •Heavy duty binding boards enhance the book’s durability. •Superbly printed on acid-neutral paper that lasts for generations. •Sewn pages – not just glued like ordinary books. •Handsome moiré end pages and a satin-ribbon page marker. •Gold gilded page ends. •Rigorous inspection at every stage ensured adherence to exacting standards and the highest quality. •Superb craftsmanship and commitment to quality. The appeal for collecting Franklin Library comes from having these attributes taken way further into the exquisite quality, durability and craftmanship, than Easton Press and Folio Society managed with their productions. This book is the perfect companion out on a park bench with a hot cup of coffee or snuggled up in front of the fireplace. Despite its all-inclusive nature it still feels very light and compact at a size of 3 x 16 x 24cm. Wonderful to hold and excellent reading experience.
