Modern Library Promotional Posters
Few posters have been reported promoting the Modern Library series -- in fact, we only know of six, and four of those are likely from the same year!
The earliest ones were submitted by Sam Gottlieb of Camelback Books in Scottsdale AZ. These extremely rare pieces are heavy posterboard measuring about 11" X 15" each. He first saw these posters in a bookshop in Monterey Clifornia in about 1995 and spent the next three years convinving the owner to part with them. He won't reveal how much he paid.
These four posters are from 1934 or 1935 (prices for Giants went to $1.10 in 1936). The dust jackets on the posters are not depictions - they are real dust jackets that have been cut up and pasted onto the posterboard.
