Gryphon Editions

Gryphon Editions publishes facsimile reproductions of the classic books in Law, Science and Political Thought. Each volume is luxuriously bound in leather at prices that are surprisingly affordable. The books are designed to last generations. Every volume is bound in leather and embellished with gold stamping of an original design. The raised bands across the spine are distinctive of the classic bookmaker's art. Specially commissioned marbelized endleaves are reminiscent of fine Old World editions. Coordinating headbands grace both ends of the spine and add strength. Illustrations are painstakingly reproduced. The acid-free leaves are Smyth-sewn; their edges are gilded for additional protection and elegance. A permanent silk ribbon marker ensures easy reference. Most of the books are an exact facsimile of the exceedingly rare original works, often the very first edition. Nothing is changed or altered from the original. Our editors have traversed the globe, visiting the rare book collections of major libraries and antiquarian book sellers to find the perfect specimen to reproduce for our members.
