A handsome collection of three vintage Easton Press leather-bound literary classics, presented in rich burgundy and red tones with elaborate gilt decoration and gilt-edged pages.
The collection includes three major works of literature:
The Brothers Karamazov — Fyodor Dostoevsky
A substantial red leather-bound volume with raised spine bands and bold geometric gilt decoration.
The Poems of John Keats — John Keats
A deep burgundy leather-bound Collector’s Edition from Easton Press's 100 Greatest Books Ever Written series. Selected, edited and introduced by Aileen Ward and illustrated by David Gentleman. The title page identifies the volume as “Bound in Genuine Leather.” The edition features illustrated contents, decorative gilt tooling and gilt page edges.
David Copperfield — Charles Dickens
A richly decorated burgundy leather-bound edition with an ornate gilt portrait design on the front cover, raised spine bands, extensive gilt ornamentation and gilt page edges.
Together, the three volumes create an especially attractive decorative library grouping, with complementary burgundy and red leather bindings, elaborate gold detailing and varying heights that display beautifully on a bookshelf, console, desk or library table.
Beyond their decorative appeal, these are collectible editions of works by Dostoevsky, Keats and Dickens and would make an excellent addition to a traditional library, study or curated book collection.
All three books feature gilt page edges, decorative leather bindings and gold-tone spine and cover detailing. Ribbon markers are present as shown.

The three books together measure approximately 5.25" W across the spines when displayed side by side.
