One of several beautifully bound leather sets in our list of New 
Arrivals for February at http://www.erols.com/agvent

BURROUGHS, JOHN. THE WRITINGS OF JOHN BURROUGHS IN NINETEEN VOLUMES. 
Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1904-1916. Nineteen octavo (6" x 8-3/4") 
volumes, Copy #285 of 750 sets of the Autograph Edition SIGNED by the 
author and the publisher. Beautifully bound in full purple levant 
morocco with red morocco inlays on both covers and spine with gilt 
decorations and lettering; brown morocco doublures and watered silk 
endpapers, uncut. Illustrated with numerous photogravures and etchings 
from photographs and drawings by Herbert Gleason, Louis Agassiz 
Fuertes, and others. Twenty-three volumes were eventually published, 
but the set seems to be found with nineteen volumes just as often as 
it is with twenty-three, and rarely is it found in such a sumptuous 
binding and in such lovely condition. Three volumes with some 
scratches on their rear covers but essentially without defect and 
brilliant on the shelf. Luxurious set.  $6000
