My Franklin collection has much improved! Even though it is not a signed first(Obviously), I really love my Jules Verne, "Around the World in Eighty Days ; From the Earth to the Moon" This book really highlights just how wonderful early Franklin's are!

Congratulations. Did you raid an estate sale or pick them up painstakingly and I individually?

The daughter of the deceased just wanted them out. She was literally going to throw them away and I got them for and insane price. Roughly the price of one of the signed editions.

I live for the search! The internet has greatly improved the secondary book market but I will always love to search the used book shop. The thrill of the hunt!
