This is the 2012 edition of Lakeside Classics. The book is still in it's original wrap. These books are printed and only given to the employees and clients of RR Donnelley. The author entertainingly describes the difficulties and surprises of her travels by sea from England to Halifax and by road to Boston, Cincinnati, and Chicago, and the energy and diversity of American society. The Lakeside Classics series was started in 1903 by Thomas E. Donnelley, then president of RR Donnelley & Sons Company and son of the founder. T.E. believed that a simple book, dignified and well designed, would be an appropriate representation of how RR Donnelley blends technology and craftsmanship to create lasting value.The Lakeside Classics are never sold by the company, but some find their way into the rare book market. A few volumes have become so extremely rare that collectors who own a complete set usually consider themselves most fortunate.
