If you've never heard about or read a Landmark book, then you are definitely missing out on a treasure! These books are a series of non-fiction books for children, grades 4 and up. There are 122 Landmark books covering American History and 63 World Landmarks covering people and events from our past. The books were published from the 1950's until 1970. Some of the titles have been reprinted in paperback format and the series has been revived and new titles have been added to it recently.

The books are priced as marked ... it may seem a little random, but I'm asking what I paid for the various copies and sometimes I got a better deal than others! I can take payment through PayPal or money orders only. I have a postal scale and will figure out Media Mail shipping for the books that you purchase. If you buy $20 worth of books, I'll pay for shipping (insurance is optional). Email me the list of books you wish to purchase at kjpriceathome@charter.net - first come, first served. DO NOT request more books than you want just to see if the titles are available. If you request them, be prepared to buy them please.
