Description
Is it real leather? Other listings of this item purport the cover to be leather, but I was unable to confirm nor discredit this claim. I personally would guess that it is in fact 'faux leather'. Either way it is a lovely cover. The book is in great shape but is personalized in the front page and has some dog-eared pages around p362-369. Light wear on covers and corners, pages have begun to yellow with age but are all intact and unmarked. Here's the AI description: "Discover the timeless charm of O. Henry's classic short stories with the 'Collected Stories of O. Henry' published by Avenel Books in 1979. This vintage hardcover edition features a luxurious leather bound cover, making it a perfect addition to any book lover's collection. With 843 pages of captivating tales, this book is ideal for adults looking to immerse themselves in the masterful storytelling of one of America's most beloved authors. This item, weighing 39 oz, is a true gem for fans of non-classifiable fiction and short stories."
