     Intended to be issued as a set with separate volumes in English and French. The English version was published in 1940 and distributed at that time to members. But the French language version, although completed in 1940 in Paris, had to be stored and couldn't be shipped to the USA until 1947 (delayed because of the war). It was distributed to subscribers by the LEC that year. The French volume was issued in blue paper wraps without a slipcase. Both volumes show a 1940 publication date.

     _____________________
     SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS: In August, September and October of 1940, three works of literature were issued outside of the regular annual subscription series, as "special publications". Since they were not included in the regular subscription series and were sold separately, they were not numbered in the regular series. I have inserted them here using the same designations used in the LEC's own 1959 bibliography, "S-6", "S-7" and "S-8".

NOTES:

A Limited Editions Club Letter was issued with each book, containing detailed notes from the publisher about the book with which it was issued. Even though not issued on strictly a monthly basis, most of the Letters were titled, "The Monthly Letter of The Limited Editions Club". The title was discontinued in later years, as publication of new books became less frequent.

The ordering of the titles in the checklist is chronological, in the date order published.
