The Worlds Classics
THE best recommendation of The World's
Classics is the books themselves, which have
earned unstinted praise from critics and all classes
of the public. Some two million copies have
been sold, and of the volumes already published
nearly one-half have gone into a second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, or tenth
impression. It is only possible to give so much for
the money when large sales are certain. The
clearness of the type, the quality of the paper, the
size of the page, the printing, and the binding—
from the cheapest to the best—cannot fail to commend
themselves to all who love good literature
presented in worthy form. That a high standard
is insisted upon is proved by the list of books
already published and of those on the eve of
publication. A great feature is the brief critical
introductions written by leading authorities of
the day. The volumes of The World's Classics
are obtainable, bound in cloth and leather, as
given on page I; and special attention is directed
to the sultan-red limp leather style for presentation.
The Pocket Edition is printed on thin opaque
paper, by means of which the bulk is greatly
reduced.
