This leather bound book, The Scarlet Letter, is a collector's edition published by Easton Press in 1975. The author, Nathaniel Hawthorne, is known for his classic works and this book is considered to be one of the 100 greatest books ever written. The book has special attributes that make it a valuable addition to any collection. Its topic is a classic and it falls under the categories of books and magazines as well as antiquarian and collectible items. Whether you are a book collector or simply appreciate classic literature, this is a must-have item. The book is in great condition and appears unread. Bound in genuine leather, a rich fine-grained brown with elaborate 22kt gold design on spine and covers, all edges gilt, ribbon place marker. The book is part of an estate of many items from my uncle who passed last year. Used primarily for display. If you need additional pictures, please let me know.
