Original publisher's folding brochure printed in black ink on yellow paper. No date, circa 1929 (several titles of the New Library have their first date of publication in the United States as 1929). 3 1/2" x 6." One leaf of paper folded in thirds and printed on all panels. Leaflet is virtually pristine and intact except for a tiny fold on lower corner of one of the interior panels. A Fine copy. This is a promotional brochure advertising books in the Travellers' Library and New Library published by Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith. The Travellers' Library is a compendium of classic books published in a small format allowing for ease of transport.
