Collectors Reprints published 112 titles in exact facsimile dust jacket editions of 2500 copies each. Each book was housed in a slipcase which had the same back and front pages from the book as well. An identification, information card was also included with each title. The series ran from 1987 into the early 1990s with Easton Press reproducing some of the titles. These books have a unique value of their own worth hundreds of dollars because of the small runs.
