In the late 1980s The First Edition Library (FEL) began publishing high quality facsimiles of unique first editions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries based upon literary importance, historical significance, and author recognition. The degree of accuracy maintained in the duplication of original first editions was nothing less than extraordinary. FEL facsimiles have the same weight, size, typeface, art, dust-jacket, finish and texture as the originals. Even mistakes, known as first edition points, were duplicated as erroneously printed.
Ships promptly in a secure mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
