If you are a Civil War buff you will really appreciate these ten reproduced journals.  They are called "Collector's Library of The Civil War", distributed by Time/Life.  These leather-bound, gold gilt-edged volumes have been reproduced photographically from the original editions.  This preserved the authenticiy of the original, including typographical errors and printing irregularities.  These were written  by first hand accounts.  This collection is an exact repoduction of those journals.  Inside each book is a biography sheet of the author. Books include many pictures. I bought this collection new in the early 1980's and they have never been read.  The condition of all is the same as new.
