The Illustrated Modern Library

All Books are Beautifully Designed and Boxed and

Stamped in 24-Carat Genuine Gold

Never before have America’s great artists collaborated with America’s

best designers and typographers to produce at this incredibly low price,

books that rank with the most expensive limited editions in design,

typography and caliber of illustrations.

No two books alike. Each is a creation in itself, interpreting in its format

and in its illustrations the spirit of the text. All books are profusely

illustrated in color with paintings, drawings, lithographs or woodcuts.

Come in and see them today. Or you may order by mail or telephone.
