If you are interested in this collection you already know what a great treasure the American Guide Series is. Published during the height of the Great Depression by 1000’s of unemployed artists and writers these guides contain detailed histories of each state. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state's unique flavor.
Little-known authors, many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures, were commissioned to write these important books. A few of the notable writers were:
Conrad Aiken, Nelson Algren, Nathan Asch, Saul Bellow, John Cheever, Loren Eiseley, Ralph Ellison, Kenneth Rexroth, Studs Terkel, Richard Wright and Frank Yerby.
Author John Steinbeck, who managed to acquire the whole series, wrote that "the complete set comprises the most comprehensive account of the United States ever got together, and nothing since has even approached it." Even now experts still consider the American Guide Series to be the most broadly conceived survey of the cultural geography of the United States ever undertaken.
Many of the books in this collection are now very rare and expensive. An original set would take up many feet of shelf space, weigh well over 100 pounds and cost $1000’s. You will get the whole mammoth collection on an easily searchable, compact and light weight DVD.
e-Library is Committed to Quality
- Each ebook is an exact copy of the original book scanned to PDF format which is viewable on all main stream eBook readers and tablets such as Kindle, Nook, iPad, and Android based tablets as well as many smart phones.
- A computer with a DVD drive is required to open the DVD. Once opened, the books can be read on your computer or transferred to your e-reader, tablet or smart phone. These are not meant to be viewed on a stand-alone DVD player.
- All the books in the series have all the original plates and illustrations and every word as originally printed. Any and all pages including artwork can be copied or printed. The pages and artwork can be save to photo files such as JPEG on your computer if you want. The text is all searchable and can be copied and pasted into any word processing software.
- 'Read Out Loud' is a Text-to-Speech tool that is built into most PDF readers today and these ebooks fully support that technology. Any of the volumes can be listened to if you desire.
- The DVD comes custom printed as shown. It does not have one of those cheap stick-on paper labels that can often degrade the quality of the DVD or even worse, damage your DVD player. It comes in a full size DVD case with attractive cover art and the title clearly printed on the spine. We designed our e-Libraries to be shelved with your other books and to be easily findable.
