Easton Press site: https://www.eastonpress.com

While we enjoy Easton Press books, their history and the large series they have produced over the decades, there are other publishers of full leather books we also appreciate. A few of these have groups as well here at LibraryThing. Please check out their groups, join them if inclined, and contribute to their discussions as well.

The Castalia Library is a current publisher of quality, full leather books. They offer a subscription model and various levels of book production. Questions about the Castalia library are welcome in their LT group below.

Franklin Library produced quality full leather books, similar to Easton Press. They have many wonderful series. They can be found second hand today in book stores and online. Please visit the Franklin Library Collectors LT group below for more details.

In addition, the origins of the Easton Press started with the Limited Editions Club (LEC) and the Heritage Press (HP). These publications were outstanding, and many Easton Press collectors also seek out LEC and HP editions.

Folio Society is a UK publisher of fine books, accessible throughout the world. They are well designed and produced and offer something for everyone. They have an active LT group and a long history on LT with many historical threads as well which are a treasure trove of information:

In addition, Shawn or others in the Easton Press group have purchaed from many of these current publishers of fine books. We have been impressed with their productions and they are worth considering, especially if one want to support smaller publishers.

>2 Neil_Luvs_Books:

I am updating the above a bit, to provide links to publishers non LT pages as well as the LT groups.

Seemed handy for publishers who do not actually have LT groups.

That said, I am open for suggestions for other publishers that could be included (No Reply Press, etc>). Perhaps not an introduction for each, but a link to their web pages

How about Areté under current publishers of fine books?

I’d add Lyra’s Books (https://www.lyrasbooks.com/) and Curious King Books (https://curiousking.co.uk/) too

Also, Arion Press, Nomad Letterpress, Foolscap Press, Barbarian Press, Corvus Works, Cordes Press, Hand & Eye

And for reference for Fantasy/Horror genre presses (but not fine press) - Subterranean Press, Grim Oak Press, and Centipede Press
