Louis Vuitton produced only one thousand library trunks and they were intended to carry twenty nine volumes of the eleventh edition of the encyclopedia.

See LÉONFORTE, Pierre, PUJALET-PLAÀ, Éric, 100 Legendary Trunks Louis Vuitton, New York: Abrams, 2010 pp. 253 for a similar Library Trunk made for The Encyclopaedia Britannica.
