Hi all...new to this site! I found myself on here when searching for a few lists of franklin books, etc...and now that I have a question I figure I would ask here and maybe someone could help me. I was looking for a copy of Moby Dick on eBay....of course there were plenty of Easton Press copies (the 100 Greatest Books ones) and also several Franklin Library ones. But I also came upon this one, that is supposedly a Franklin Library one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOBY-DICK-BY-HERMAN-MELVILLE-FRANKLIN-MINT-LIBRARY-VINTA...

I love the look of it but I've searched like crazy online and haven't been able to find another one like it. Is it definitely a Franklin like the seller says? Does anyone have any idea which collection it could belong to if it is? It has the silk bookmark and all, but I'm really new to this book collecting thing, so I honestly have no idea. Since it's sealed there's no pictures of the inside of the book or anything so I'm going in kind of blind here. Then again, if I like the look of it then maybe I should just get it lol.

Thank you!

Sorry I don't know the answer. It's not in any of the series I collect (100 Greatest, 100 Masterpieces, or Great Books) since I have the MD in each of those and it doesn't look like this one. Hopefully you get your answer but my first thought is it's overpriced.
