About This Item
Shelton, Connecticut: First Edition Library and Otto Penzler Books, 1980s- 90s. Fascimilie Edition. Hardcover. In exceptionally good condition/In exceptionally good condition. Octavo, [23cm/9.25inches], full ebony--embossed Shanghai-red cloth w/ mylar-protected dust jacket, pp. 188. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... In the late 1980s the First Edition Library (FEL) began publishing high quality facsimiles of famous first editions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Sold via subscription, the FEL eventually produced over one hundred titles, ranging from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead. ... Sometime in the 1990s, FEL ceased production and sold rights for some of its facsimiles to Easton Press. Easton, in turn, produced 35 literary and 14 James Bond titles, also selling them via subscription. These are identical to those produced by the original First Edition Library publishers with one exception: There's no information card. Online sellers of FEL titles in their original shrink wrap frequently make the assumption that the book includes its information card. Not likely; most of these copies are the newer (and less valuable) Eastons.
