Franklin Library

The Franklin Library, a division of The Franklin Mint, was a publisher of fine collector edition books from the early 1970s until 2000. Known for beautiful leather bindings, Franklin Library books were published in three styles - full genuine leather, Leatherette (imitation leather), and quarter-bound genuine leather. The full leather-bound editions were produced throughout the Library's lifespan but the other two styles (imitation and quarter bound) were only published in the 1970s and '80s.

Bound in genuine full Leather with sewn pages, the covers decorated in 22 karat gold with page ends protected with 22 karat gold gilt and complimented by a sewn-in satin bookmark and silk moire endpapers.

Lesser versions published by Franklin Library are Quarter leather and Leatherette.
