1987 hardcover. I cannot attest to this book having a leather binding in spite of statements like the following: "1975 - 1987 All books in the Pulitzer Prize Classics as published by the Franklin Library were bound in full genuine leather with decorative end papers." see https://www.leatherboundtreasure.com/p/franklin-library-pulitzer-prize.html The book appears to be leather but no where in the book can I find it stated, and I am no expert on bindings.. Accordingly I am setting a lower price. It is a beautiful book.
