HISTORY OF GREECE By J. B. Bury
More and more the Modern Library Giant format is proving a boon to the student as well as to the general reader. Adapted as it is to the inclusion of titles which ordinarily are printed in two or three expensive volumes, the Giant series stands alone in its field, acclaimed by the New York Times as "the greatest book bargain in America today." In order to continue to deserve such praise, the editors confidently present J. B. Bury's A History of Greece. It is printed from clear, new type on the same paper that is used in books that sell at five times the price, and durably bound in balloon cloth. With Bury's definitive text are printed colored and black and white maps, plans and many illustrations, together with a complete index.
