Description: This SCARCE UNREAD leather limited masterpiece of literature and bookmaking from The Franklin Mint is in NEAR PERFECT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. Much of the gilt on the text block page edges is still stuck together because the pages have never even been separated for the first time after being treated with gold leaf during production. It looks, feels, and smells like a new book. The only imperfection is very slight aging to the gilt on the text block top edge. Even still, this is likely the most pristine copy of this scarce edition you'll find for sale anywhere. This book is part of the Franklin Library's prestigious definitive publication commemorating the 25th anniversary of Encyclopedia Britannica's "The Great Books of the Western World" series. All books in my store are clean and free of odors, dust, or dander and come from a well-ventilated building with NO smoking, vaping, pets, children, or even food and cooking. Simply put, these books are fresh, crisp, and cared for. COMBINED SHIPPING is always automatically active, and if you buy 5 or more in the same transaction, FREE SHIPPING!!
