A GORGEOUS COLLECTIBLE, SCARCE EDITION. The International Collectors Library was a book club series published by Doubleday Book & Music Clubs, Inc. from the late 1940’s through the late 1980’s.Generally, the books followed the 8-1/2″ x 5-3/4″ book size format. The binding designs were adapted based on old “Golden Age of Bookmaking” bindings, and made to look like leather-bound copies (leatherette). The bindings were embossed with 24K gold embellishments, and some copies had gilt edges (thin layer of gold leaf) applied. A sewn in satin ribbon marker was also added in most books. There were over 400 editions published in a variety of bindings. Some editions came with loose-leaf inserts that described the book club, the bindings and design styles, and a story synopsis of the book-in-hand. ABOUT THE BOOK: Charles is an upper-class amateur paleontologist, and Ernestina is the daughter of a rich draper. They're walking on the shore of Lyme Regis one day when they see a strange woman staring out at the sea. Supposedly she fell in love with a French lieutenant, and she's waiting for him to return.
