Some of the titles are still in print, but it appears they are no longer being produced so you may have to source second hand if you’re looking for particular titles. The leatherbound classics are bound in decorative bonded leather with ribbon bookmarks but are mostly without illustrations, these illustrated classics are bound in brightly colored cloth with contrasting sprayed page edges, and the word cloud editions have the largest variety of titles featuring text-based flexibound cover designs.
