The Pléiade series published in France provided the model for the LoA. The publisher aims to keep classics in print permanently to preserve America's literary heritage. Although the LoA sells more than a quarter-million volumes annually, the publisher depends on individual contributions to help meet the costs of preparing, marketing and manufacturing its books. LoA texts are prepared by recognized scholars, and determined efforts are made to correct errors and omissions in previous editions. For instance, the LoA text of Richard Wright's '' Native Son '' restored a number of passages that had been previously cut. Technically, the books are designed to be as long-lasting as possible, with Acid-free Paper , durable Binding cloth, and flexible but firm binding boards. EXTERNAL LINK |
