David Copperfield, Easton Press, Full Leatherbound;

Singling out his most autobiographical novel, Dickens wrote, "Like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child. And his name is David Copperfield." Filled with some of literature's most memorable characters, David Copperfield is an enduring story of growing up. Full leather-bound hardcover, no dust jacket as issued. Collector's edition. Beautifully bound in genuine leather, hand selected from individually tanned hides. Sophisticated hubbed design (raised ridges) on spine, stamped with gorgeous accents of 22 karat gold -- a hallmark of fine bookmaking. Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into the binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Endpapers are beautiful satin moire, specially dyed for the publisher. All edges gilded on three sides to enhance the book's elegance. Satin ribbon page marker bound into book.
