My Leather-Bound Books

The leather-bound Easton Press and Barnes & Noble Collectors Editions section of my library.

I like beat-up books, old books, new books, books with deckle edges, and books with straight edges.

But leather-bound books, with sewn-in pages containing high-quality paper and ink and gilded edges… they feel great to hold while reading. I’m twenty pages away from finishing the first of four books by historian Ian Kershaw on Adolf Hitler, which is considered to be one of the best biographies ever written, while also being a very informative and entertaining read.

I found a set on Vladimir Lenin today, but it was in a different language… so, no. Makes sense as I think I would have been aware of a Lenin set like this?
