Easton Press 100 Greatest Books

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

The 100 Greatest Books 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.

Juniper Books buys and sells Easton Press books privately, so it is best to communicate with us directly about selling your collection or buying these books from us.  We usually have a complete set of 100 books available at any given time and also a healthy selection of individual books.

However, not all the books shown are available at any given time.  Our inventory of Easton Press books changes rapidly but we keep want lists for customers and we build collections over years for our clients.

Leather bound Easton Press books make great gifts and we are happy to assist clients with the selection and sourcing of a single book.  We also have more experience than anyone in building entire collections of leather bound books – we have built collections of Easton Press books numbering into the thousands of volumes.

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.  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.

The complete list of titles in the series is below, as noted above the books have rotated over the years so there are more than 100 books, however any set of 100 of these books is generally considered a complete set.
