This sixteen book series is quite scarce. (http://henryaltemus.com/series/series82.htm). Today I am adding a picture of book #12-The Pilgrim’s Progress. The books of this series are basically the same as the identical titles in the Young People’s Library- Format 3. The difference is that the books from this series are larger. They are 7.75 x 5.5 versus the Young People’s Library books which are 6.5 x 5.25.
The covers are almost the same-but not quite. Note the bottom of the cover. In this series there is a little decoration at the bottom. This is the reason for the size differential. It is curious why Altemus would publish this series to compete with the very successful Young People’s Library.
