I've got the Peter Pauper Press version, which is modest, but I truly lust after this beauty -

Wow, pretty! You made me realize that I don't have my lovely edition of this book entered on LT yet! So, after doing that, and scanning the photo, here is mine. I hardly ever touch it though, the leather cover is very fragile.
