First Edition Library (FEL) published a collection of 112 titles of exact facsimile replicas of iconic modern first editions from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Sold only via subscription, FEL facsimiles have the same weight, size, typeface, art, dust jacket, finish and texture as well as points of issue as the originals. Unlike most of the original works, FEL used acid free paper and issued their books in matching slipcases. With the mission of duplicating the originals as closely as possible, they hired engravers to reproduce typefaces that were no longer used. 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 back jacket flap. Additionally, FEL titles originally contained a laid-in card of explanatory notes, including how the title came into being, background on the dedication, applicable issue points, the copy from which the facsimile was produced, and some general notes about the book.
