Thanks for those photos...the book is beautiful...I noticed that on the spine it has the gold bar, under which is a gold starburst, under which is the title. Interestingly, and I have no idea if this means anything: the author's name is missing. Usually on the spine you have the author's name (which in this case is clearly known, ie. Babur), title, gold bar on top if US version, and starburst. I only have one book in my 300+ EL collection that is missing the author name on the spine, and that is the Hector Berlioz book. On the other hand, there is title-only on books with no obvious author, such as the Old and New Testament, The Koran, The Book Of Common Prayer, etc. So who knows?
As far as the counterfeits, I unfortunately think that's real due to the EL book offered online with the "Look Inside" feature...I looked inside the Benevuto Cellini book and it shows the book number of 326 (which belongs to the Ray Bradbury book)...it's as clear as day and the only explanation I can think of is that it's fake. I took a screen shot of it for posterity, and if I ever figure out how to post photos, I can show you...I have a photo of it side by side with the Bradbury book, and they both say #326. here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Benvenuto-Everymans-Classics-Contemporary/dp/030759274X/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=1A9IQW09378YZ&keywords=Cellini+everyman%27s+library&qid=1646943442&s=books&sprefix=cellini+everyman%27s+library%2Cstripb...
There's one more reason I think there are fakes: a number of books are sold without a ribbon marker (and I have a bunch of them)...this is not the case that the marker was torn out because that would be obvious....these are perfect books / no ribbon, appear to have been produced as such..
Anyway, I'm on the outlook now re: Babur and if I find anything new/different I can let you know.
