Easton Press

Easton Press

Easton Press, a division of MBI Inc. based in Norwalk, Connecticut, is a publisher specializing in high-quality leather-bound books. In addition to canonical classics, poetry and art books, they publish a large library of science fiction and popular literature as well.

Some of Easton Press's products are arranged in series to which a customer can subscribe, receiving a new book every month. For example, "The Library of Great Poetry" (25 volumes), "The Complete Novels of Charles Dickens" (16 volumes) and C. S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia" (seven volumes). However, it is possible to order many titles alone.

Book traits

Almost all Easton Press books have the following traits:

*bound in leather with raised hubs on the spine
*distinctive gilt stamped cover designs
*threadsewn pages
*gilded page edges
*permanent satin ribbon page-marker
*endsheets of moiré fabric
*22kt gold-stamped spine accents

However, there is some variance. For instance, the Easton Press library of "Masterpieces of Science Fiction" does not have endsheets of moiré fabric, but otherwise it has all the aforementioned traits.
