Product Description
Toni Morrison Book Set by Juniper Books
Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning novelist Toni Morrison’s vivid characters and stories take readers on a journey through the American experience of the 19th and 20th centuries. Remarkable for their poignant prose and epic nature, novels such as Beloved are not only sensational to read, but are also deeply meaningful works which will stick with you forever. Juniper Books’ custom jackets feature an illustration of a tree with birds starting to take flight - a tribute to the extensive symbology Morrison deploys in many of her novels (with birds being one of her most often used). Each book in the set is a hardcover edition published by Everyman's Library or Random House.
Includes:
- The Bluest Eye
- Song of Solomon
- Beloved
- Tar Baby
- A Mercy
- Sula
- God Help the Child
About Juniper Books
What is Juniper Books?
We are a specialty book company with a focus on building custom libraries and creating unique book sets.
Our Mission & Philosophy
Juniper Books is dedicated to elevating the printed book by enhancing its design quality and aesthetic, deepening the meaning of books in our lives, and facilitating the connection between the stories books tell us and the stories they tell about us. Our philosophy is books are not simply words on a page or objects on a shelf. Their stories and meaning seep through their bindings, onto the covers, into our homes, and throughout our lives.
What goes into a Juniper Books creation?
There is an entire team of talented people behind every book set making sure we do things perfectly. We buy heirloom quality hardcover books from publishers we love and respect. For our jacketed sets, we design, print, and fold each cover by hand to ensure a beautiful set you will treasure forever. Our jackets should be thought of more as art prints than the typical jackets which come from publishers.

There is nothing wrong with that as long as you realize that is what you are getting, and as long as you consider it to be a fair value for the money. So let's look at what is included here (and what is not included). These are all hardcover books published by Knopf/Random House and commonly available here on Amazon or in large bookstores:
- The Bluest Eye -- Her 1st novel, originally published in 1970. This Knopf/Random House edition is currently selling for $19.66 here on Amazon, list price $24.95.
- Sula -- Her 2nd novel, originally published in 1973. This Knopf/Random House edition is currently selling for $21.95 here on Amazon, list price $24.95.
- Song of Solomon -- Her 3rd novel, originally published in 1977. This Everyman's Library (Random House) edition is currently selling for $18.96 here on Amazon, list price $25.00.
- Tar Baby -- Her 4th novel, originally published in 1981. This Knopf/Random House edition is currently selling for $27.10 here on Amazon, list price $26.95.
- Beloved -- Her 5th novel, originally published in 1987. This Everyman's Library (Random House) edition is currently selling for $17.00 here on Amazon, list price $25.00.
- A Mercy -- her 9th novel, originally published in 2008. This Knopf/Random House edition is currently selling for $16.28 here on Amazon, list price $23.95.
- God Help the Child -- her 11th and most recent novel, originally published in 2015. This Knopf/Random House edition is currently selling for $11.75 here on Amazon, list price $24.95.
Purchased separately, the seven books in this set can be obtained for $132.70 at current Amazon prices, with regular list prices of $175.75 if they were purchased in a regular book store with no particular discount.
When I consider that this is selling for $250.00 here on Amazon, I just don't know if I could really justify the nearly 90% price premium over current Amazon prices simply to get nicer looking book end-pieces for my bookshelf!
Sorry, Juniper Books, but nice as this is, it is not something I can recommend.
------> Also to note, this is not a complete set of all of Toni Morrisons novels. Not included are:
- Jazz -- her 6th novel, published in 1992.
- Paradise -- her 7th novel, published in 1997.
- Love -- her 8th novel, published in 2003.
- Home -- her 10th novel, published in 2012.
