You will notice the model 4002 has a slightly irregular surface texture.

A nice touch is the 12-inch measurement, which makes it easy to pair with other collectibles.

You will see that 0794850707 has no foxing on the frontispiece.

The full color here is not washed out—it’s rich and saturated throughout.

The blue leather on this book shows a lovely crackle pattern from age.

The charm of 0794855733 comes from its simple, functional form.

The unbranded label here is actually a sign of its age and rarity.

A nice touch is the original tissue guard protecting the frontispiece in this collector’s edition.

The surreal theme dominates this book, with dark art adding a layer of dread.

You will appreciate how this unbranded object seems to have a soul of its own.
