The First Edition Library operated from the 1980s and sold to Easton Press in the 1990s who produced a subset of the line for another ten or so years. The books were an exact facsimile of the first edition with a few tells. First, the books were printed on acid free paper. Second, the copyright page has a box containing the Collector’s Reprints or First Edition Library printing information. Third, most books have FEL in a box on the rear flap of the dust jacket (if one was originally issued). All books were issued in a slipcase with reproductions of the dust jacket art on them.
