Franklin was a premium bindery of leather books renowned for their fine craftsmanship from the 1970's to 2000. There were numerous styles produced - from full leather bindings to quarter-bound leather - where only the spines were leather - to faux leather-look. These are the real deal - the full leather with a sumptuous shelf presence.
Each book is bound in a signature color, and exhibits gold foil stamping of the titles and jacket designs. They are printed on archival quality acid-neutral paper and include silk moire endpapers, an expensive hubbed spine, bound-in silk ribbons bookmarks, gilded page edges, Smyth-sewn pages for strength and durability and often contain beautiful illustrations.
