The three-volume set was also one of the four titles produced by R. R. Donnelley and Sons' Lakeside Press under the "Four American Books" campaign with the other three being Edgar Allan Poe's Tales Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast. It was Moby Dick however that sold out completely and was hailed as among the great American illustrated books of the century and it is also credited with reviving public interest in a sublime but difficult novel.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> The book contains 280 striking wood cuts by Kent which are reproduced to illustrate Melville's classic nineteenth century whaling novel. Beautiful silver-stamped cover and spine design by Kent. Epilogue at rear.<BR> <br /> <BR> <br /> "The most lasting contribution of the undertaking though was Kent's Moby Dick. Still regarded as the definitive illustrated edition of this American Classic it positioned Chicago as a major center in the history of American book illustration design and production" Coventry "Four American Books Campaign" Chicago by the Book p.121.

Moby Dick is widely considered the greatest of the four. Rockwell Kent saw his illustrations as "literary woodcutting" although his illustrations are not woodcuts but rather ink and wash. So successful and captivating were Kent's designs that this edition is credited with finding the novel a wider audience and cementing the status of Moby Dick as an American classic. William Kittredge Director of Design and Typography at the Lakeside Press was so bold as to tell Kent: "We will all go jump in the lake if this book is not the greatest illustrated book ever done in America Lakeside Press, issued by Random House unknown
