Description

My 30 books from the Little Leather Library are nearly a century old. Published in 1923, the series features literary classics in miniature books approximately 4" x 3" in size. Bound in leather with embossed title, author, and decoration, the books were sold in department stores and later by mail order. The company issued 101 literary classics, and a 30-volume set was marketed at $2.98. Today, single volumes in good condition can fetch up to $50, depending on the title. My copies have suffered a lot of damage through the years, much before I received them. My grandmother purchased these, probably when they first came out, and they've been read and shuffle around quite a bit. I keep them wrapped and in a closed container, so they won't deteriorate even more.
