Attention mole: Mother Goose has never been placed on EP’s DLE page even though its description clearly indicates that it is one.

It's still not list as a DLE... I'm baffled.

>6 George_Allen:
Easton’s DLE page contains other errors too. “Myths and Legends of China” has been on their page since it was announced, but there is nothing in its description that says it is limited in any way. Wootle’s list is more reliable.

Hmmmm, is it just me, or do others also feel that binding is just meh. Maybe it looks better in person, but otherwise that is not appetizing (although Rackham is of course fabulous).

Easton Press has an issue with their photos being pixelated. I have over 40 DLE's and their binding is superb. I will give Easton Press the benefit of the doubt and that they just suck at showing off their premium products. They really should look to their distant cousin Folio Society on how to display their products.

10: Agreed. I don't know how long you have been a fan of EP, but those of us that remember the original website... wow, it was something else all right :O

Does anybody know if their description of '14 colour illustrations' is correct? I've looked at a lot of offers of other editions, including first editions, and they always only mention a maximum of 13 colour illustrations.
