Easton Press - from Wikipedia

Easton Press, based in Norwalk, Connecticut, is a publisher specializing in high-quality leather-bound books. In addition to canonical classics, poetry and art books, they publish a large library of science fiction and popular literature as well.

Almost all Easton Press books have the following traits:

·         bound in leather with raised hubs on the spine

·         distinctive gilt stamped cover designs

·         threadsewn pages

·         gilded page edges

·         permanent satin ribbon page-marker

·         end sheets of moiré fabric

·         22kt gold-stamped spine accents

However, there is some variation. For instance, the Easton Press library of "Masterpieces of Science Fiction" does not have endsheets of moiré fabric, but otherwise it has all the aforementioned traits.

Condition:  Near MINT. 

I was told that most of these had been read but I am not so sure. Binding is very tight and they appear near un-read.  No owners name. No wear to the leather or gilding, No shelf wear, no bumping. No interior soiling.  No evidence of moisture.

Again, near MINT.
