Redcroft Edition Rarity

This section ranks the rarity of the green and brown Little Leather Library titles with "Redcroft Edition" stamped onto the back covers, of which there are 102 unique titles that we've identified. Note there is both a brown leatherette and green leatherette version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens that was given a Redcroft Edition stamp. This is the only title of all of the brown ones that was given this stamp. There's also ~100 red leatherette books in existence that have the "Redcroft Edition" stamp on the back, these are all extremely rare and seem to have been produced just before the company name was changed to "Little Luxart Library" and available titles was reduced to 30.

This ranking is compiled from data from over 2,000 online sales. They are grouped by rarity and then listed in random order from there. This is only an estimation, rarity ranked by general availability throughout the past year. The rarity assignments given to these books are only meant to be thought of in the scope of these 102 titles with the Redcroft Edition stamp, exluding the rare red ones. Looking at their availability in the scope of all Little Leather Library books produced, they are generally the easiest to find. Most of these can be found for sale somewhere online at any given time, with the exception of the last few rarest ones in this list only sometimes surfacing.
