Wuthering Heights (The 100 Greatest Books of All Time)

The Easton Press Collector's Editions for several years now and consider them to be one of the more exquisite and beautiful book collections in the market. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to gaze upon the beautiful bound books, each having that distinctive leather-bound smell, and of course, the gorgeous illustrations that accompany these editions The gilt-edging on the cover and back is in a beautiful gold, and the book itself is bound in genuine leather and is a grayish black. Most of the Easton Press Collector's Editions come in distinctive colors, all of which are bound in genuine leather, so they not only make for handsome additions to one's personal library, but are also heirloom quality, and of course, make great gifts for bibliophiles. This book is part of the Easton Press series titled "The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written". The book contains color lithographs by Barnett Freedman and was published in 1980. There is a frontispiece portrait of Emily Brontë specially commissioned for this edition. The artist is Barbara Sparks. This edition also includes: The Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell by Currer Bell (Charlotte Brontë) An Editor's Preface to the New Edition of Wuthering Heights (1850) A diagram depicting key players in the story The text of "Wuthering Heights" which is based on the Oxford edition (with the original printer's errors corrected) All in all, this is a handsome leather-bound edition of one of the greatest works of English literature.
