After last week's big giveaway, I thought I would keep it simple today. I'm giving away just one book, but it's a beauty - a 1977 Easton Press leatherbound collector's edition of Herman Melville's "Moby Dick." From the description:
This gift-quality decorator edition of Melville's classic is bound in dark blue leather boards, with allover gilt decoration and gilt lettering. The cover has a stylized gilt illustration of a whale. All page edges are gilt; a ribbon bookmark is bound into the book. Endpapers are watered silk. Color and black-and-white illustrations by Boardman Robinson appear throughout. Introduction by Clifford Fadiman.
Contest now closed, winner will be announced shortly.

I would love this. Thanks
Oh, it's beautiful! I would certainly love to have it!!
I love this. I'm a big fan of the Rockwell Kent edition, with his gorgeous graphic prints, but those paintings look stunning.
Call me, Ishmael. Maybe.

That is without a doubt the loveliest copy of that (literarily very lovely) book which I have ever seen--thanks very much for offering it!
What a beautiful edition!
Gorgeous.
Another fabulous Friday offering !
Exquisite!

I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks, meanwhile, for shipping the per diem Coleridge volume so quickly, and packaging it so well.
In today's NY Times, Joe Queenan said he's been reading M Dick for 20 years, and is up to page 100. I'm thinking I could beat that.
A favorite in more ways than one. PLEASE!
Count me in please! Thank you.
I have been wanting to buy the book for some time now. Thanks for the giveaway!
Looks great! Can't wait to see who wins!
What a lovely book! I would love to win. :)

WOWWW
People say I'm strange because I actually love the book. In fact I just ordered a Moby Dick case for my new phone. :-) A copy like this one would be wonderful.
Beautiful! I'd love to add this to my bookshelves!
Any one line could be etched in stone.
