—A Scarce Edition of Pride and Prejudice from the sought after Oxford/Franklin Library Worlds Greatest Books Collection. The Oxford Library of The World’s Greatest Books was printed by the Franklin Library and published in conjunction with the Oxford University. The Oxford Library of The World’s Greatest Books was published in both quarter bound (leather spine) binding and full leather bound however the full leather editions are rare.

The Franklin Library was a division of The Franklin Mint that produced fine collector edition books over three decades ending in the year 2000. For this reason all Franklin Library editions are now considered “out of print” and are no longer available for sale from the Franklin Mint.

The Franklin Library produced books in three different binding styles: full genuine leather, imitation leather, and quarter bound genuine leather. While the first or full leather bound editions were produced through out the Franklin Library’s full life span the other two styles (imitation and quarter bound) were only produced through the 1970’s and 80’s. Below are some of the characteristics found in all Franklin Library editions along with more detailed information about the different binding styles.

All Editions:
• High quality paper.
• Pages that are sewn not glued into the binding.
• Gold gilded page edges on all three sides.
• Raised spine bands that give each book that distinctive antique look.
