What
are the Landmark Books?
Each is a book that brings to life a great
event or personality in our nation's past. Each is designed to be rich,
rewarding reading, capable of stirring the heart as well as the mind.
Each is intended to arouse in the reader not only an interest in the course
of history, but also an understanding of how the democracy that is our
heritage was forged.
What
are the World Landmark Books?
The same splendid features that have made
the Landmark Books increasingly popular since they were launched more than
five years ago continue in these books of world-wide and well chosen variety
of subjects, simple but full-of-action story narrative, large and clear
print, attractive bindings, and a reasonable price.
