Landmark Books: History Made to Last

The Landmark Books series, published by Random House beginning in the 1950s, introduced history to young readers with seriousness, clarity, and respect. Written by notable historians and journalists and illustrated by leading artists of the period, these volumes were produced in durable cloth bindings meant to withstand real use.

Today, Landmark Books are increasingly sought after by collectors, educators, and readers who value thoughtful storytelling, mid-century design, and books made to last. This collection features well-preserved copies selected for condition, integrity, and shelf presence.
