About This Item
UK: Oxford University Press; Franklin Library, 1983. 1st Thus . Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Eubanks, Tony. Printed and bound by the Franklin Library. [xvi] 522pp with a double spread colour illustration by Tony Eubanks. The plays in this volume are A Doll's House; Ghosts; The Wild Duck; and Hedda Gabler. With an introductory message to original subscribers. Quarter bound in deep red calf's leather over brick red cloth-covered boards, with gilt lettering and decorations, four raised bands on spine, all edges and decorations in 22 karat gold. Richly marbled, complimenting endpapers. Red satin ribbon place-marker bound in. Smyth-sewn binding. Printed on acid-neutral archival paper (which means the pages will not brown with time). In fine condition throughout. The Franklin Library (a division of the Franklin Mint) was one of the leading producers of great books in fine bindings in the 20th century. Made between 1981 and 1985 the Oxford/Franklin volumes are stunning and outstanding for their production qualities. Oxford University Press specially chose the Franklin Library to design and produce its World's Great Books series because of its unsurpassed skill in achieving a premium-quality product: each of the Oxford books was to be 'a wonder', in the finest traditions of bookbinding. Books in the World's Greatest Books series were produced as limited editions in either full leather or quarter leather bindings (as were all Franklin Library books, although in some cases it's not known how many were included in each limited edition). A truly, gorgeously handsome volume, designed to become an heirloom, in collectible and gift condition. 8vo.
