Luxurious Leather-bound Books from the Franklin Library
The Franklin Library, a division of The Franklin Mint, was a publisher of fine collector edition books from the early 1970s until 2000. Known for beautiful bindings, Franklin books were published in three styles - full genuine leather, imitation leather, and quarter-bound genuine leather.
The full leather-bound editions were produced throughout the Library's lifespan but the other two styles (imitation and quarter bound) were only published in the 1970s and 80s. Much like Easton Press, Franklin published series of books such as Signed First Editions, Pulitzer Prize Classics and The 100 Greatest Books of All Time.
The publisher developed a following by providing beautifully bound editions that would not break the bank.
