You'd be correct! It's actually one of the first few books I bought: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/barnes-noble-leatherbound-cl... It's actually pretty cheap, and it's a prose translation (Which while I personally liked, is not really how one should read these classics I suppose) but the design is neat. What I'm most proud of is my Deluxe Edition of Plutarch's Lives from the 1800's. It even has a neat little poem sticker from a previous owner called J. F. Pease:

Okay, that's fucking cool. I hope that someday I'm in a position in life to have my own decorated sticker with a poem about me to put in my books. I don't have Lives but I do have the Landmark Herodotus and it's gorgeous. Books used to be so pretty.
