Edition: Limited
Illustrated By: Jane Sterrett
Published By: Franklin Library
This lovely hardback limited edition Franklin Library copy of Thomas Mann's "Stories" is beautifully bound in brown leather. The book is opulently decorated, with all-edge gilt, as well as gilt decorations, lettering, and illustrations on the cover and spine. This impeccable presentation continues inside the book, which has lovely yellow ochre silk endpapers, a satin ribbon page marker, and a playful use of brown and black ink for chapter titles and other interior decorations. Jane Sterrett's imaginative black and red ink illustrations help to ground the stories and their characters, as one experiences Thomas Mann's powerful insights into the psychology of the artist and the intellectual. This book has 317 pages of text, and is in near perfect condition, as its pages appear unread. This book is looking for a new home, and would be a lovely gift for any collectors of limited edition Franklin Library books, or for any fans of Thomas Mann.
