Description: This RARE leather limited edition book from The Franklin Mint is in VERY GOOD condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. This book is the GENUINE LEATHER edition, not to be confused with the much more common leatherette hardcover one. The distinction is easily made by the silk ribbon bookmark sewn into the real leather version. This also applies to the other books in the Franklin Mystery Library series. Basically, each book has two versions of the same edition. They look very similar, but the binding is different. The leather versions all have the ribbon bookmark, whereas the cheaper and much more common versions do not. This is the easiest way to differentiate between them. The leather versions are much rarer and more sought-after and typically sell for multiples of the price of the common hardcover ones. Most book collectors and you who are reading this likely know all this, but I will be selling both styles of these books, and it has to be made clear for those who may not know that there even is a difference, and why two books that appear to be the same are priced so differently. All books in my store are clean and free of odors, dust, or dander and come from a well-ventilated building with NO smoking, vaping, pets, children, or even food and cooking. Simply put, these books are fresh, crisp, and cared for. COMBINED SHIPPING is always automatically active, and if you buy 5 or more in the same transaction, FREE SHIPPING!!
