Hey /lit/ know any relatively cheap (Nothing that cost me like $1000 dollars would be preferred) where I, and possibly others on this board, can find good quality leather-bound books. I don't even care if they have been used as long it doesn't look like shit and isn't falling apart.
So, any suggestions?

I own dozens of Easton Press & Franklin Library books, and the only way to get them at a decent price is to use eBay and Amazon. Franklin Library is much cheaper in general than Easton, but I think the leather is of slightly lesser quality.
If you don't care about early editions or anything and just want a nice quality leather bound, strand books has several classics in newer additions

Not bad, I'm looking through it and although pretty expensive for my tastes I'm liking what I see.

All those Franklin Library books are at my small local (mostly used) bookshop, and they're ~15-20 dollars.

Buy used. I really try to avoid buying glued hard covers. They simply don't last as long. A decently well made sown hardcover that's a hundred years old will feel never than a 10 year old paperback. Buying used is also pretty cheap if you compare with new books. I bought a 100 y/o war and peace for like 20$.
