The Lakeside Classics series by the R R Donnelley Company

Curve-billed Thrasher, Alamogordo NM, November 12, 2011

Here's a complete list of the series. My collection of Lakeside Classics is growing. I've highlighted the titles I have in my collection.

From the R R Donnelley Company website:

The Lakeside Classics series was started in 1903 by Thomas E. Donnelley, then president of RR Donnelley & Sons Company and son of the founder. T.E. believed that a simple book, dignified and well designed, would be an appropriate holiday gift.
