Landmark Books were a series of history books published in the 1950's for children. I loved reading them as a kid, but got most of them from the library where the had dull covers without dustjackets. I've been picking some up at thrift shops. I really enjoy the cover art, and since I seem to barely be able to make a dent in my monthly upload limit, I'm sharing them with you.

• 1oa, Athur Cravan's LET LITERATURE LANGUAGE, reprinted by curry in 1987 & 2oo1 & in french transation by Carole Limoges as LAISSEZ LITTERATURE LANGAGE in 1998
Edinbugh: Mainstream Publishing, [2009]. Hardback, pictorial boards and pictorial dustjacket. ISBN 9781845965549. 220 pages plus 37 pages of reproductions from comics from The Boys Own Paper to Warlord and includes front covers from The Hotspur and Lion. Lavishly illustrated thoughout. Condition: New.
When the Comics Went to War is a colourful, authoritative history of the British war comic-book genre, from the first publications to appears in the 1860s to the last wave of new titles in the mid-1980s.
Featuring a wealth of materrial sourced from the original boys' comics and story-papers, this lavishly illustrated book charts the evolution of warfare as children lived through it, from the Boer War and the Great War of 1914-18 to the rise of the Nazis and the Second World War - and much more besides.
In the late 19th century, war comics had such a powerful effect on readers that they acted as recruitment tools for the British Army and Navy, inspiring young men to sign up to serve their country. Their popularity grew substantially throughout much of the 20th century, with titles such as Champion, The Wizard, Victor and Tiger achieving huge weekly sales from the 1950s to the 1970s. While the genre experienced a sharp decline in the late 1980s, by 2009 many vintage war comic titles were being resurrected and reprinted in significant numbers - a testament to their enduring popularity.
From Union Jack and Boys of the Empire to Battle and Combat, this unique and nostalgic celebration of war comics will jog the memories of older readers and introduce the magic of these war stories to a whole new generation.

“John Masters’ first story of modern India, following his three widely read and widely hailed historical novels, is likely to be his most successful book. It is a story of the ebb and flow of violence, misunderstanding, and terror preceding the coming of Indian independence, and it adds a new dimension of immediate reality to the author’s established reputation for narrative and scenic brilliance.
“Few readers will forget the beautiful, tragic Anglo-Indian, Victoria Jones, daughter of two heritages and two bloods, or the three men who loved her – Patrick Taylor, whose mixed blood matched her own; Colonel Rodney Savage, whose love offered one solution to her dilemma; and the Sikh Ranjit, who offered a different answer altogether. Primarily “Bhowani Junction” is the drama of these men and this woman, but beyond this it is packed with unforgettable incidents and characters. One of John Masters’ most striking gifts is the power to evoke the sight and smell of India through the use of the exciting scene: a train thundering through the night toward an ambush, a desperate search through the dark jungle for a Communist terrorist, quiet moments beside a cool mountain stream, and a well-laid plot that boomeranged.
“In this dramatic story of Indians, Anglo-Indians, and British torn and twisted by desperate conflicts of race, religion, and personality, the author has written a long and full-bodied novel of a nation and its people at the point of crisis. It is a major achievement by an author whose popularity has grown with each succeeding book.” [From the text on the dustjacket]

Most “movie tie-ins” are reprints, usually photoplay editions or mass market paperbacks, not original first editions. This book is a true first edition of the novel published by Viking Press in 1954.
Accompanying the book is a publisher-issued promotional band (wraparound “belly band”) printed in bright yellow, advertising MGM’s 1956 motion picture adaptation starring Ava Gardner and Stewart Granger. The band is a separate item, wrapped around the dustjacket, preserving the original jacket while simultaneously linking the book to its film release. Also included is a bookmark featuring an ad for the movie, an ephemeral piece seldom retained by readers.
While photoplay editions and paperback tie-ins are common, publisher-supplied bands and advertising inserts converting a first edition into a movie tie-in are rare.

Dug out my old, as tatty as Lemmy, copy of the 'Ace of Spades' 7" single. Let the 'Wind' carry this 'Hawk' to a better place. Rock on, Ace of Spades.
I couldn't find this jacket on Amazon when I looked, so I'm posting it here, in case anyone needs/wants it.
Great book! Hugh Greene's introduction to these little-remembered, but prolific, mystery writers of the late 19th/early 20th century is fascinating and highly informative. William LeQuex (1864-1927) wrote perhaps 240 books in his lifetime!
Max Pemberton, Arthur Morrison, Guy Boothby, Clifford Ashdown, LTMead & Robert Eustace, Baroness Orczy, Austin Freeman, William Hope Hodgson, and Ernest Bramah are the others profiled and included.

Volume Two, which appeared in 1977, begins with reproductions of 16 of the J.

Almost everything is beautifully reproduced from the original art. No dustjacket, as issued. 9" x 12", 305 pages of artwork spotlighting the books and publications of Edgar Rice Burroughs' work.
One of the reasons we chose Thomson-Shore for this print-on-demand edition is that they had a large selection of cover cloth and stamping colors.
