![]() These first books were typically brought out in two formats – one ‘casebound’ (a typical hardback) and a more limited number of ‘leatherbound’ copies. The size was typically around 9-10 inches high and 6-7 inches wide. The contents were omnibus editions, binding up multiple titles by the same author in a single book, and initial designs were very traditional, with dark (bonded) leather covers featuring gold text and simple foiled borders on the front and back boards, raised bands on the spine, gilt page edges, decorative endpapers, and a sewn-in ribbon bookmark. Barnes & Noble brought out their first set of collectible leather-bound classic editions in 1992.
