A collection of hardcover volumes from The American Lakes Series, published by the Bobbs-Merrill Company. This group includes titles covering four of the Great Lakes: Lake Huron by Fred Landon, Lake Michigan by Milo M. Quaife, Lake Superior by Grace Lee Nute, and two copies of Lake Erie by Harlan Hatcher. The volumes are bound in the publisher's original dark green cloth with gilt-stamped lettering and decorative horizontal rules on the spines. One copy of Lake Erie is bound in a darker, possibly variant or library-rebound cloth, featuring a black label near the tail of the spine with the handwritten number 977. The interior pages feature chapter headings with epigraphs from various literary and historical figures, such as Thomson and Seneca. The copyright page for the Lake Huron volume indicates a copyright date of 1944 and states that the book was printed in the United States. Ghosting from the title page is visible on the facing leaf of the copyright page shown. These are octavo-sized volumes (approximately 8 to 9 inches tall).
