Random House
WORLD LANDMARK BOOKS



The World Landmark Books collection consisted of 63 titles published by Random House between 1953 and 1968. Volumes #1 through 55 were originally published in dust jacket. First printings of volumes #56 through 63, along with later reprints of the earlier 55 titles, were issued in a pictorial cover format with cover art printed directly on the boards of the book, eliminating the need of a dust jacket.

The World Landmark Books were available in both trade, library and book club editions. The book club editions, identified by the "Young Readers of America Selection" blurb on the dust jacket flap, are often found with facsimilie letters from the author. The signatures on these letters often mislead the experienced collector to believe it is an authentic letter signed by the author. The book club editions were apparently issued from the same print runs as the trade editions and stated printings are often found on the copyright page.
