I like to collect hardcover and leatherback versions of books, cause I guess I'm old school in that way. I've found Easton Press to be a really great place to buy some amazing leatherback books. I have the complete works of H.P. Lovecraft, and the Deluxe versions of "Beowulf" and "The Eddas" (which contains the prose and poetic edda).

Anyway, I just wanted to see if there were any other fans here and what y'all might think of them.

They have some cool stuff and the leatherbacks, but I always like to buy more books with the same amount of money. I put together some hardback collections of some all time favorites abebooks.com buying used. Ive had some leatherbacks in the cart before but I know if I open that door I'll be spending way too much money on that shite cause i have trouble with self control.

I have a 9 volume set of leather bound Civil War books from them. Bought them in the 90s. Bruce Catton books in dark blue, Shelby Foote's trilogy in red, Douglas Southall Freeman's books on Lee's Lieutenants in Gray. Very nice display set.

I have a dozen or so. I mostly pick them up used.

For special edition books though, I prefer Folio Society out of London.
