Description: Collection of 9 Easton Press Classic Literature Books. Includes: - The Arabian Nights. - The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. - The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. - Paradise Lost by John Milton. - The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. - The Flowers of Evil by Charles Baudelaire. - Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. - A Portrait of the Young Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. - The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. ------------------- Easton Press are a modern fine publisher who are still active and printing luxurious leatherbound editions of important titles. Many of the most desirable titles are long out of print, and so the titles outside of their "100 Greatest Books of All Time" series and their long sold out Deluxe Limited Editions remain highly (and increasingly) desirable. Easton Press produce high quality books which are fully bound in real leather with all edges gilt. They use 22kt gold in their detailing and have many other luxurious features such as a silk page marker, pages sewn in and not glued, acid-neutral paper, and often include original illustrations or translations commissioned specifically for their editions. They predominantly publish classics and are best known for their '100 Greatest Books' series, but also publish other works such as science fiction, modern classics, fine facsimile editions, deluxe limited editions, signed editions, limited sets, etc. ------------------- Size: from 235 to 287 mm tall (approx.) Condition: In excellent condition overall. Spines in fine condition showing very attractively indeed on the shelf, the bindings secure, with joints and hinges fine, and all boards securely attached. No gilt loss to spines or boards, apart from some loss of gilt from the outer bottom corner of the rear board of The Portrait of a Lady. All edges gilt, minor scratches to edges as typical, some volumes with very slight loss, else near fine. Some foxing to page edges to some volumes. Some attached bookplates. No written ownership inscriptions. Internally in fine condition throughout with all called for pages present. Boards of the Arabian Nights and Leaves of Grass slightly warped. About WoodPaz Books: WoodPaz Books is an online antiquarian and rare book shop dedicated to great customer service and secure eco-friendly packaging.

We really do strive for the accuracy of our descriptions and condition reports in each listing. We aim to mention all of the main areas of the condition: the spine, hinges, joints, boards, page edges, page block, etc. We are highly knowledgeable on books and love talking about them!
