Lakeside Classics

Lakeside Classics ist eine US-amerikanische Buchreihe, die seit 1903 bei der Lakeside Press (R.R. Donnelly and Sons), Chicago, IL, erscheint.

Kurzeinführung

Die Reihe enthält Bücher über amerikanische Geschichte, Folklore oder die Entwicklung der USA, solche zum alten Westen, über Lincoln, Präsidenten, Entdecker und den Bürgerkrieg, sei es Kit Carsons Autobiographie (1935) oder Two Views of Gettysburg von Sir A. J. L. Fremantle und Frank A. Haskell (1964).

Bei der der Reihe fungierte Susan Levy als Kuratorin und ist nun als leitende Redakteurin tätig.^[1] Die älteren Bände sind in Sammlerkreisen gesucht.

Thomas Donnelley schrieb in der Einleitung zur Autobiographie von Benjamin Franklin, dem ersten Band der Reihe: „Wenn dieser Band auf bescheidene Weise die Idee vermittelt, dass maschinell hergestellte Bücher kein Verbrechen gegen die Kunst sind und dass Bücher schlicht, aber gut sein können, und gut, aber nicht teuer, dann hat er seine Aufgabe erfüllt.“^[2]
