Congratulations on your excellent pickup. In my opinion, Franklin Press full leather books are easily the equals of Easton Press in quality, yet you can find Franklin Press books dirt cheap on Ebay and Abebooks etc. They don't get the same love value-wise as Easton Press. Franklin Press came in 3 states, the deluxe full leather editions, easily identifiable with the silk book mark sewn into the binding, only the full leather has the silk marker. The next state is the faux leather, which does not have any silk marker sewn in, but is a much cheaper alternative to the full leather. The final state is the quarter-bound leather with cloth boards, so when they are lined up on the shelf with only the spines showing, they appear to be leather. Some sellers, who might for example, be selling off a parent's estate that's got some books (most of new generation don't appreciate physical books like we do) may genuinely believe the faux books are real leather, other sellers do know full well what they are selling to you, in my opinion, so buyer beware (and check for that silk marker)!!

Folio's attention to their books is so mixed. That Franklin edition is sharp. Easton. Interesting choice in slim margins.
