Franklin Library, Great Books of the Western World History of the Franklin Library: Producers of various collectibles and limited editions, the Franklin Mint created a book division in 1973, known as the Franklin Library. During its 27-year history, the Library issued several collections of books including the 100 Greatest Books of All Time, The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature, The Collected Stories of the World's Greatest Writers, the Signed First Edition Society, and more. The Franklin Mint Library books are now out of print. During its existence, the Library issued books monthly to its subscribers.
