Arthur Rackham's GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES

My Arthur Rackham's GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES just came and it's like Easton Press did not make this book. This DLE even more gorgeous than The three musketeers DLE I have. The leather and paper in this edition are really gorgeous. The paper is really thick and has some texture to it. I tell you the truth, I did not expect that from EP. This book is large and it has a large and clear font. Now, why EP can't do something like that for every DLE title?

1: Well they could, but it wouldn't sell. Not every book needs a $400-500 treatment. That said, enjoy this beautiful book, and I believe and hope that Reynard the Foxe will be similarly impressive. Also, feel free to post pics :)

yes, pics would be amazing :D

Here are some pics I took of mine a while back....the Rackham Alice in Wonderland is nice too..even more luxurious paper with illustrations mounted on darker card stock.

Thank you for sharing. I too have recently purchased this book. I am excited to see it.

Yes thank you for sharing this beauty. Personally, I never dreamt there was a market for expensive luxurious children's books.

Is it really a children's book or just a classic piece of history?

>7 cu29640: I am methodically reading my close to 800 leather books. As I read the "children's books" I sell them or gift them to my young nephews ....they do not have the appeal they might have had for me as a child. Kind of glad I did not pick up those EP Tom Swift reprints.

wow... so very beautiful. I've been holding off on the Grimms / Alice / Aesop set but my resolve isn't as strong as it was! Thanks for sharing :)

9: A lot of people hold off on a DLE only to regret it later.

Goes to sit in a corner to ponder his place in this world and opens Tom Swift And His Motor Cycle🤔🤔🤔

>10 astropi: This statement could not be more true... Luckily I am 27 years old and learned this lesson last year.

>11 GOBOGIE: that is funny. I am re-reading some of the books that thrilled me in my 20's and find that my tastes have changed dramatically. By the way I found (within last couple of months) that Robinson Crusoe is as good if not better than when I was young; I might regret not getting that DLE.

I re-read Crusoe last winter. The long winters where I live can be gloomy at times, so I try to read something fun and adventurous to help brighten my spirits and Crusoe did the trick. That was one of the reasons I decided on the DLE at the last moment.

I made the mistake one time of reading "Into Thin Air" by John Krakauer one winter. Boy was that a miscalculation of entertainment!

I hate to say this, but when people say Robinson Crusoe I start singing the Gilligan's Island theme! Hey, it was based off Robinson Crusoe :P

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
a tale of a fateful trip,
that started from this tropic port,
aboard this tiny ship.
...
...
No phone, no lights, no motor car
not a single luxury
like Robinson Crusoe,
it's primitive as can be.

So join us here each week my friend

>16 GOBOGIE:: Will Ginger and Maryann be with us? :-))
