re: Any other fans of Easton Press?

Very nice, I collect leatherbound mostly history, especially civil war. Most are Easton Press, some Franklin (now defunct). Folio Society is nice but most are not leatherbound.

When I lived outside Louisiana I would always scour the half price book stores and find great deals on Easton Press books. Some of my fav Easton finds were David Donald’s Lincoln, Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, On War by Clausewitz, Napolean: The Immortal Emperor by Gengembre, and my favorite find the American Heritage Picture History 4-Volume series (Rev/Civil War/WW1/WW2). Found these over 50%-70% off what they sold for at the time.

I also purchase some on Ebay or Abe Books. Trying to complete a set of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbon. Have 4 of the 6 copies. Recently bought Coddington’s Gettysburg (2-volume part of the civil war series). I really want to treat myself one day and get an Easton Press Shelby Foote signed copy of his Civil War Narrative. I think these nice leatherbounds will only increase in value as we continue to trend away from hard copy books in society, plus they look beautiful in a library.

I wish we had half price books in Louisiana!
