Notes / Commentary:	LeBlanc never saw one; his listing contained the first 70 titles, as published in an advertisement in Holly Library no. 59, which read: "Special Circular to Educators: 'Masterpices of the World's Literature', THE PREMIUM LIBRARY is extensively used by schools and colleges for supplementary reading. It is issued in attractive 16mo shape, paper covers, printed from clear, readable type on good paper. Many of the volumes are illustrated. They are published at the low price of TEN CENTS each of 12 books for one dollar. Postage paid. Special prices quoted to schools for larger quantities." Nos. 71-90 were added based on a similar but later ad from a Mershon edition of Through Apache Land by Lieut. R. H. Jayne. The date for No. 50 was added from a photograph of the issue shared by Cary Sternick.
