Easton Press 100 Greatest Books

Posted on 01. Jan, 2012 by Thatcher Wine in Blog, Book Styles

The 100 Greatest Books of All Time Series from Easton Press is probably the most popular set of leather bound books ever published. The set is composed of literary classics and a few selected volumes of non-fiction – autobiography, history and landmark science.

The books have been rotated over the years so there are actually 125 titles in the series, however any set of 100 books is considered a complete set. We have listed the full list at the bottom of this page. Note that since there are so many variant bindings (different colors and designs) we have photographed the various issues for better reference, so many books in the series appear more than once.

Among our many specialties, Juniper Books is one of the largest buyers and sellers of fine leather-bound books from publishers like Easton Press and Franklin Press in the world.  We buy and sell nearly all of these beautiful leather bound volumes privately, so it is best to communicate with us directly about selling your collection or buying these books from us.  Our inventory changes rapidly yet we keep “want lists” for customers and we have helped our clients build their collections over years.

Modern leather-bound books make marvelous gifts and we have more experience than anyone in assisting our clients with selection and sourcing; from a single book to a curated collection of thousands. And, as these books are collectibles that appreciate in value over time, we are also very experienced in evaluating and appraising these volumes and we quite often advise clients on appropriate prices to pay for these books as many times they are overpriced in certain venues.

NB: We are posting this page as sort of a visual bibliography. Please ask for permission before using our photos for any commercial purposes, thank you.
