Set #7 of Only 300 Published
15 Volumes – Deluxe Binding
$1250 CDN
This is an exceptional and highly sought-after 1911 complete set of The Works of Jules Verne, published by Vincent Parke and Company in a strictly limited edition of only 300 sets—this being Set No. 7, one of the earliest produced.
Each of the 15 volumes is uniformly bound in striking Moroccan leather, accented with gilt titles and decorative spine details. The set features:
High-quality paper with gilt top edges and rough-cut fore-edges
Intricate red-and-black title pages
Illustrated frontispieces with tissue guards (all present)
Satin ribbon bookmarks bound into each volume
Deluxe edition touches throughout, consistent with a fine private press production
The condition is excellent overall, with only light shelf wear and minimal signs of age. I have yet to find a better condition competitive set online. Volume spines remain strong and richly colored, with no major damage. This is a collector’s set that balances historical significance with enduring visual appeal.
A rare opportunity to own a low-numbered copy of one of the most beautiful English-language editions of Verne's works ever published.
