ABOUT FRANKLIN LIBRARY
The Franklin Library was the publishing division of The Franklin Mint, and it produced books from the late-1970s-2000. Since publication ceased twenty years ago, there is no such thing as a "new" copy of a Franklin Library book; all books are preowned & out of print.
Franklin Library books are collected for their beauty and high-quality craftsmanship. This volume is bound in quarter-leather with elaborate, gilt-stamped, cloth boards. Leather spine has raised spine bands that create a distinguished and antique aesthetic, sewn pages, all gilt edges, decorative endpapers tailored to match the binding, and high-quality, acid-free archival paper. Many volumes include etchings and color illustrations.
