Rare vintage hardcover edition of The Works of Charlotte and Emily Brontë featuring an unusual reverse binding / misbound manufacturing error. This copy was assembled backwards, causing the book to begin from the opposite end, making it a highly unusual collectible example for rare book and printing error collectors.
Published exclusively for Longmeadow Press by Avenel Books, Inc. and copyrighted in 1981 by Crown Publishers, Inc. Printed and bound in the United States of America.
The book features a dark green decorative hardcover with gold lettering and floral detailing, giving it a classic antique library appearance ideal for display collections, dark academia décor, or vintage literary shelves.
Unlike standard editions, this copy stands out because of its factory-style binding anomaly, making it an uncommon conversation piece and potentially desirable collector’s item. A video is included with the listing to demonstrate the unusual reverse binding orientation.
