Biographies of Plato and Aristotle by A.E. Taylor and John H. Randall, Jr, published in 1991 and 1990 by Easton Press.
-------------------
Easton Press are a modern fine publisher who are still active and printing luxurious leatherbound editions of important titles. Many of the most desirable titles are long out of print, and so the titles outside of their "100 Greatest Books of All Time" series and their long sold out Deluxe Limited Editions remain highly (and increasingly) desirable.
Easton Press produce high quality books which are fully bound in real leather with all edges gilt. They use 22kt gold in their detailing and have many other luxurious features such as a silk page marker, pages sewn in and not glued, acid-neutral paper, and often include original illustrations or translations commissioned specifically for their editions. They predominantly publish classics and are best known for their '100 Greatest Books' series, but also publish other works such as science fiction, modern classics, fine facsimile editions, deluxe limited editions, signed editions, limited sets, etc.
