All of our Franklin Library editions are carefully examined for quality, cleaned, and we do our best to make sure they’ll look breathtaking on your shelves, just like they do ours.

Franklin is a middle ground between the higher end Easton Press editions we carry, and the vintage Heritage Press editions we love. These are an ideal entry point for budding collectors. Our favorites are the Franklin Mystery Library series, and are among the most uniquely modern in midrange fine bindings.

The Mystery Library contained 51 titles, and was available in full leather or hard imitation leather bindings. The full leather editions come with a sewn bookmark and Moire endpages.
