The books are on the smallish side (7″ x 4.85″ – think pocket book), reflecting the size and format of the original books when they were printed in Victorian times. I would say they are the American equivalent of the pretty Chiltern Classics series that I have also reviewed on this site – with slightly less ‘busy' cover designs, and more US authors – and they are about the same size as the Chilterns, if you want to mix and match editions.

There are a few different cover designers for the earlier volumes, noted below where possible, but the bulk of the covers are designed by Igor Satanovsky, with the interior design of the volumes by Rich Hazelton and Kevin Ulrich. Several of the texts include a disclaimer that they ‘represent the attitudes' of their time, suggesting they present the original text (I haven't checked them all yet). Most of the books appear to be printed in India.
