Question for the FSD cognoscenti.

For me, one of the FS high points was their series of Limited Edition books with quarter vellum spine with gilt lettering and vellum tips. I know of five of them: Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver's Travels, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and TWITW. What (if any) are the other LE books done in this style?

‘Just So Stories’ (Kipling) is another title in this series.

All the series of books produced by the FS can be seen in this thread.

I'd always hoped they would also publish The Jungle Book like this, but no luck. And I don't really think this will be continued in the new age of FS.

The last of these, Alice, was released in 2016, so it is highly unlikely that any more titles will be published in this style.

As usual, exactly what I was looking for and wanted to know. Thank you.
