Navy Blue Embossed Antique Authors Digest Book Bundle

This set of 8 vintage volumes from The Authors Digest series features a dramatic, moody palette of deep navy blue and black with rich gold lettering.

The spines are uniform and beautifully structured, each embossed with decorative paneling and a gold torch-and-laurel emblem at center. The interiors are equally impressive, featuring hand-painted mezzotint illustrations on French Plate Paper and beautifully marbled endpapers in soft blue and cream.

Each volume contains condensed retellings of major literary works by authors like Willa Cather, Henry Adams, and Arnold Bennett, making this set as interesting to page through as it is to display.

Volumes included are II, IV, VII, XI, XIV, XVI, XIX, and XVIII (Supplement), published by The Authors Press, copyright 1927. The stack measures approximately 9.5 inches tall and 12 inches across.

Condition
These are vintage books and show various signs of aging, which may include scuffing and wear to the leather-like covers, rubbing at the spine ends and corners, toning to page edges, and some cracking along the hinges. All these natural signs of age are what make vintage books such a unique, charming, and cozy design choice!
