EP DLE Jules Verne's Michael Strogoff pictures

https://imgur.com/a/xKHV1. I hope that I did it right. EP DLE Jules Verne's Michael Strogoff pictures are attached.

>1 fancythings: true confessions. If I had been told I would get #1 I would have bought it. Also you have a limited edition of 400 while Hector Servadac is limited to 800 at nearly double the price. Now that is a book treasure. Cannot wait to get my Dead Sea Scrolls (both editions). Already selling for a premium on eBay.

>2 HugoDumas: lol. Thank you. I can't wait to get the Dead Sea Scrolls as well. What a beauty of a book. I can't believe that EP did not call it a DLE. The Dead Sea Scrolls is really beautiful edition and could easily pass for DLE. True confessions, my dad purchased Hector Servadac DLE for me as well.

Indeed, I treat all of my DLE's as treasures. By the way, my parents love EP books too.

..."my dad purchased Hector Servadac DLE for me as well..." Can he adopt me????

>4 SandPebble: Funny

>3 fancythings: very clever. Get dad to fall in love with EP DLE so you have no resistance. Though Dad wants you to graduate with honors I presume and be successful like him. Good strategy.

You might as well talk to Dad about completing that Verne DLE set. It is quite beautiful. I have the 6 Verne volumes all in the Famous Editions size.

Agree Dead Sea Scrolls should have been DLE because it is a beautiful copy of their original Limited Editions Club.

>6 HugoDumas: lol. Someone is very perceptive. I received my first A in Calculus 1 and Microbiology, so my parents immediately agreed to get Hector Servadac DLE. lol

I saw the pictures, you have a very beautiful, expensive and to die for collection, extremely well done Sir.

>1 fancythings: Hope you don't mind the blow up.

>8 Wootle: lol. Thank you.

I'm so jealous... one day, I want a copy #1...

>10 astropi:
I still have a few signed copies of my dissertation that I could number for you. Cloth, first edition, first printing 1975. Pages richly toned a lovely golden brown. Fine. No jacket, as issued. Rare.

I’ll number all of them #1 to accommodate multiple bidders.

>11 jroger1:

Could be worth something eventually...they don't even have you print and bind them anymore. It's all electronic. All hail the PDF.

>1 fancythings:

Sooo jealous! Congrats #1! For one of my numbered editions I asked for a low number and the reply I got was that they were sealed and therefore they don’t know which numbers are which 🙄

>10 astropi: >13 TeaAndHoney: lol. Thank you. I hope that you guys will be next for #1 DLE edition when you order again.

As long as it's a perfect square...

12: My dissertation was printed on special paper, and then bound. Not in leather of course :)
I actually printed a few copies on the special (all cotton) paper. Only one was bound by the University, but the others I had bound. As you said, it is also available electronically, but it's nice to know somewhere your dissertation is sitting on a shelf collecting dust!

11: First, I want to see pics, then we'll talk...

>16 astropi: same here. Just finished equivalent on my 25 years of research, and found a book binder in Urbana IL who will bind it in leather with hubbing, and marbled end papers for a good price. I think I will do it.

>1 fancythings: have you read the book yet? Just finished big consulting job and looking to reward myself with this book. While it is small, I notice it is also close to 600 pages. Are you still recommending this DLE? My research shows that it is considered Jules Verne’s best work.

>18 HugoDumas: I finished it and loved it more than 80 days around. Really good story, well written. Profusely illustrated throughout, just like you like it. Beautifully made book by EP. What a gem. Reward yourself as soon as possible before its gone. It limited to 400. Enjoy it. :)

My bank account will never recover. Good thing I don't drink. The money I spend on books is the amount my buddies spend at the bar.

>20 George_Allen: lol and lol

>19 fancythings: only because of you did I order. A consulting paycheck helps. I trust you are impressed with the Dead Sea Scrolls. I Am! Tell your parents to consider the Tristan and Isolde DLE. One of my treasures....though expensive.

>22 HugoDumas: Congratulations!!! It was the best Verne adventure that I read so far. In my opinion, much better than around the world and Hector Servadac. Enjoy it in good health. Yeahhh. I will tell my parents about the Tristan and Isolde DLE. Thanks. My parents purchased 5 vol. Count of Monte Cristo. So, for now I will leave them alone. lol

>22 HugoDumas: Did you get it yet and what is your opinion about it. I think you are going to love it.

>24 fancythings: not yet

>24 fancythings: received it and inspected every page. One word : SPECTACULAR!

>26 HugoDumas: Lol told you. Enjoy it in good health. The story was the best that I read from Jules Verne so far. In my opinion, much better than Hector Sarvadac.

>27 fancythings: yes you were right. And because of your inspiration, Joe in EP customer service agreed to give me the free special Rubaiyat even though Strogoff was purchased before the April promotion!

>28 HugoDumas: Great, you can mix Verne's story with some poetry from Omar. Have some wine with such beautiful books to enjoy it even more. lol

>29 fancythings: this was a great read and those illustrations were wonderful. The size of the book was really no problem. This was a painful book to read after Michael was apparently blinded. A satisfying ending, the fake blindness and the marriage to heroine Nadia.

>30 HugoDumas: Great, I thought that this was the best novel by Verne. Glad you enjoyed it too. I was really into it and finished reading it in one week. Keep collecting and reading those little gems. I also liked "In Search of Castaways" by Verne. Check it out, you will love the story.
