The Easton Press published leather bound copies of field guides.  Although they are not all written by Roger Tory Peterson, they were sponsored by the National Audubon Society and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute.  Each volume was issued with an “Ex Libris” bookplate. Each bookplate has a drawing by Roger Tory Peterson selected especially for that edition.  

If you wanted to have copies of all titles and all editions you would have:
  
50 titles + 8 titles with 2 editions = 58 volumes

Here are the 50 titles that were published in the Roger Tory Peterson Field Guide Series:

Most of the titles that were published as both 50th Anniversary and non-50th Anniversary were published in the same year (in some cases the exact same volume from the same series was published in 2 different years).  Even if the two series were published in different years, only the 8 titles below differ in any significant way from one another.  It is unclear if the later editions were published as 50th Anniversary editions or not.
