Alta Editions Antique books - Beautifully Bound

 Ornate covers, bindings of different colors like sage green, plum purple, and Mahagony brown. Alta Edition books are from the 1800's published by Porter & Coats from Philadelphia. I was very lucky to find these lesser known Jules Verne books. The Alta edition antique books started as a set of 19 juvenile books and later comprised of 162 titles including books for adults. Each book is bound in the handsomest manner, with a beautiful black and gold back stamp, ornamental side and silk ribbon marker. These books shown here were published sometime in the1880's.
