InsanityIgnitions At the moment j just keep an eye on the Barnes & Noble site. If you find one leatherbound book on there and click on it then go to the description and click collectible editions it brings up all of these books and ones that are coming soon too. I will post videos as I buy more. I try to wait until a few that I like are released before buying since I'm buying from UK.

I have several questions about these books. How do these books compare to other leatherbound books? Is the leather genuine or fake/look-alike? Also the "gold-like" writing on it, is it like the other companies make it from 22k gold, or just as I said "gold-like"? The 3 page sides that are exposed, top, side and bottom, are they 22k gold plated or just look-alike? And lastly what is their price? :) Please respond, and thank you in advance.
@norskjente

Hi Mario :-) as the books aren't very expensive I think they will just be look alike. The prices vary but usually around $18 (€14) they are very nice books and well worth the price but if you are looking for high quality gold and leather they may not be suitable. I hope this helps :-)

These may look fine from the outside, but from a readability perspective, some are quite poor. In order to keep the page count down, they place way too many characters per line and pay very little attention to the typography. (With Shakespeare, they actually seemed to get it somewhat right by using two columns, even though you complained it was too small.) Also note the poor binding that cracks and is really reluctant to open up beyond even 45 degrees. The gilt edges comes off easily and looks awful after it does. Finally, for the foreign language classics, most of them use public domain, fairly outdated, translations. In my mind, these are poor facsimiles of good quality leather-bound books, primarily for display. Give me a basic, but properly bound cloth-cover book any day. Or better yet, and older edition from when books were still produced properly.
@adomoadeus

Forgive me, I may be mistaken, but from your comment I highly doubt you actually own any of these books. I own a great many number of these and the readability is fine, not great I do concede, but definitely viable and not unpleasant provided you have good eyesight/up-to-date glasses. They are stitched or sewn (whatever the term is) binding and open to 180 degrees just fine on any page. I can't speak to the foreign language classics, as I do not yet own any of them, but based on the lack of factual basis for the rest of your comment, I find it difficult to trust you on that.

@@adomoadeus You are of course free to believe whatever you wish and I am just stating my opinion as somebody with over a decade of experience in publishing industry (not in books, but I know layout). You are correct in that I do NOT own these, but I have seen them from time to time in used bookstores, having the defects I've mentioned. I recognize these are printed to a price and may be attractive enough to serve to introduce people to these great works of literature, however, it does not make a good printing of a book. I will concede that looking again at the printing of Wicked/Son of a Witch, that the typography and layout is better, but that is possibly because it was taken from another recent edition. They also seem to do better on children's titles. But the volumes for Charles Dickens, Dumas, and Shelley are just bad. Look at Bram Stoker's Dracula @4:32, the endpapers are a design from iStock! These books are designed as gifts and decor pieces, not so much to be read.
