for Heritage Editions by the World's 
Greatest Artists.. .Picasso, Rockwell, 
Grant Wood and others. 
Norman Rockwell's Tom Sawyer 
To add an enchanting 
visual dimension to 
the world's greatest 
books, The Heritage 
Club has, over the 
years, commissioned 
leading figures in the 
arts to illustrate each 
volume. Hence, Heri- 
tage editions abound 
with magnificent or- 
iginal works— many in 
full color — etchings, 
wood engravings, 
drawings, lithographs, 
and paintings— all de- 
signed to increase the 
pleasure you and your 
family derive from 
each book. 
It is a sheer delight, 
for example, while 
reading the immortal Greek 
comedy, Lysistrata, to see the 
beautiful young women and 
courageous warriors of an- 
cient Athens through the 
eyes of Pablo Picasso. The 
original works he created ex- 
pressly for this book now 
hang in the Museum of 
Modern Art. Today, the only 
way you can own these 
drawings is to possess The 
Heritage Club edition! 
Sherlock Holmes as seen 
by Frederic Dorr Steele 
To illustrate The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry 
Finn, The Heritage Club, in 1936, commissioned exclusive 
works by Norman Rockwell. For who better than the warm 
and witty Rockwell could capture the mischief of Tom and 
Huck in their meanderings along Twain's beloved Missis- 
sippi River. And where else but in The Heritage Club 
could you find, in one volume, the words of America's 
most popular author enhanced by the art of 
America's best loved artist! 
And so it goes throughout 
the collection.. .Grant Wood's 
striking paintings for Main 
Street give an extra depth to 
Sinclair Lewis' memorable 
characters. The drawings in 
the Heritage edition of The 
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 
were done by Frederic Dorr 
Steele, the famous illustrator 
of the original Holmes 
serialization. 
If any publisher, including 
ourselves, tried to create such 
a magnificent classics library 
today, it would be utterly 
impossible at this price. We 
can do so only because we long ago acquired the rights to 
the priceless art of Picasso, Rockwell and others, before the 
peak of their fame — before the cost of such originals put 
them beyond the reach of almost all book publishers.
