56 vols of "The Great Books" series for sale *25th Anniversary Limited Edition

These volumes are the full leather variety which is the highest quality of the three types produced.

While most characteristics remained constant throughout the years of production, the style of end papers varied from silk moiré to decorative paper.

Below are some of the characteristics that remained constant.
- Full genuine leather binding
- 22k. gold lettering and stampings on the spine and covers
- Attached silk page marker
- High quality paper
- Pages that are sewn not glued into the binding
- Gold gilded page edges on all three sides
- Raised spine bands that give each book that distinctive antique look

This collection is from a private family library, has rarely been touched, and is in exquisite condition.

The only indication of any wear on any of the volumes is very slight dust and age spotting on the gilding on the exposed page edges.

Leather is exceptionally beautiful and like new condition, spines are all solid and there are no known markings in any volume. This set includes the boxed set of Notes from the Editors booklets covering each volume in the series. *We have many, many of the "notes" booklets, but have not checked to make sure we have one for every book. We will notify you if we do not have the corresponding "notes" booklet to the book you requested.

There are 56 volumes in this collection – unfortunately, this is not an entirely complete collection.
