About the First Edition Library: "First Editions Library is a series of exact facsimile replicas of the first editions published by Collectors’ Reprint Inc. Founded in 1987 by Henry Reath, a former president and publisher of Doubleday; his wife, Mary; and Kemp Battle, who also worked at Doubleday, the company prided itself on publishing the best of American literature as it first appeared.

FEL facsimiles have the same weight, size, typeface, art, dust jacket, finish and texture as well as points of issue as the originals. In many cases, the Reaths and Battle waded into debate amongst themselves about which editions were indeed the first. With the mission of duplicating the originals as closely as possible, the publisher hired engravers to reproduce typefaces that are no longer used. They dyed both sides of paper to create a shade of green no longer available for the dust jacket on Thornton Wilder’s The Bridge of San Luis Rey. The sewn bindings, stamping and even the original price on the jacket flap of FEL facsimiles are all exact replicas.

An explanatory block of text appears on the facsimile copyright page of original FEL books. The “FEL” colophon appears on the lower part of the back jacket flap. However, the first three FEL titles produced — For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Great Gatsby, and Of Mice and Men — “FEL” was missing from on the back jacket flap on all first printings (2,500 copies of each titles)."
