A Collector's Guide and Checklist to World Landmark Books provides everything the collector of this beloved children's series needs to begin and expand his library of this award-winning series. World Landmarks were Random House's premier series produced for young readers from 1953 to 1968. They combined excellence of authorship with first class illustrations and strong production processes. Even today these titles are acknowledged as relevant educational texts. The Collector's Guide describes and illustrates every variant and sub-variety produced during the 15-year history of the series. Guidelines to price and rarity are provided. Related material such as records are cataloged, illustrated, and completely explained. The key to understanding first printings is provided, and unique aspects of the series such as the author's letters and the Random House Reading Program are discussed. A full series checklist covering every major collecting variant is included, allowing the collector to define a collecting theme and track progress toward its completion. An image of every cover is included for easy identification. Every student of Landmark Books will benefit from the information contained in the Guide and will have a leg-up on collectors who don't have these facts.
