The Harvard Classics, Millenium Edition, in 50 Volumes. Published by Easton Press.
The finest edition of the famous Harvard Classics series ever printed. A very rare set outside of America, especially complete, as shipping of this set from America where it was released is prohibitively expensive to ownership of this set in the UK and Europe.
-------------------
The Harvard Classics set is one of Easton Press' finest publications in their history, and one which collectors of Easton Press greatly desire, especially complete. Each volume is bound in real leather with real 22kt gold details, and is bound with a colour frontispiece, alongside the usual Easton Press luxurious features such as silk moiré endpapers, all edges gilt, built-in satin bookmarks, acid-neutral paper, etc.
