Modern Library Chronicles
Series
From Modern Library:
"Modern Library Chronicles is
a series of small-format hardcover originals, featuring the world's great
historians on the world's great subjects. These authoritative, lively,
brief (most under 150 pages), and accessible books that bring history
within the reach of the nonspecialist, the general reader."
Interesting notes:
-
Both book and dust jacket have 'book number' on the spine
-
There is what looks like the binding #9 torchbearer on the
book and DJ spine
-
Bernhard endpapers
-
Torchbearer blind stamped on book front cover
-
From John Wolansky: When initially issued, the
jackets were see-through and each cover was different, tailored to the
subject of the book. See an example of an
early edition here.
