Overview

Identification is locked based on explicit publisher information on the title and copyright pages. The copyright date is 2011, and the number line '20 19 18 17 16 10 11 12 13 14' specifically identifies this as the 10th printing.

Story

Published by Canterbury Classics, an imprint of Printers Row Publishing Group, which specializes in producing affordable, heirloom-style editions of classic literature. This specific edition features the classic Victorian translation by Margaret Hunt. It is a modern mass-market decorative edition rather than a rare antiquarian volume. The market for modern decorative bindings, such as those produced by Canterbury Classics, Barnes & Noble, and Easton Press, is active but price-capped by retail availability.

Condition & Value

The exact physical condition is currently unverified pending detailed photographs. For modern bonded leather editions, value is heavily dependent on the preservation of the foil stamping, the absence of scratches or peeling on the leather, and clean, unmarked interior pages.

Market Analysis

The market for modern decorative bindings, such as those produced by Canterbury Classics, Barnes & Noble, and Easton Press, is active but price-capped by retail availability. Buyers seek these editions primarily for display and gift purposes, meaning aesthetic condition is paramount. Copies with pristine foil stamping and unblemished leather sell quickly near their original retail price, while copies with even minor shelf wear see steep discounts.

Value Drivers

▲ Exact identification as the Canterbury Classics bonded leather edition anchors the baseline retail comparison.

▲ Decorative bindings with ornate foil stamping maintain strong appeal for home library display.

Concerns

▼ Unverified physical condition — scratches or peeling to the bonded leather would drop the estimate to the $5 floor.

▼ Unverified interior pages — any writing, foxing, or torn pages will severely limit resale appeal.

Best Venue

If the book is in like-new condition with no wear to the leather or foil, list it on eBay or a secondary book marketplace with an asking price of $20-$25. If there is visible wear, scratches, or bumped corners, expect a fast-sale price closer to $10-$12. Ensure listing photos clearly show the corners, spine ends, and page edges to maximize buyer confidence.

Upside Potential

If the book is confirmed to be in pristine, unread condition (effectively 'Brand New'), it can confidently realize the $25 high-end of the range, matching current retail and secondary market clearing prices for new copies. There is no realistic upside above this original retail ceiling for a 10th printing.
