PITMAN ART SERIES (PITMAN PUBLISHING CORP.)
Series Note:
The Pitman Art Series (as the series is most commonly referred to) is also known as the Pitman Art Books (as the series is referred to on the back covers of the volumes themselves). In the Publisher's Trade List Annual (1967 edition) the series was referred to as the Pitman Art Instruction Guides.

The publisher was the Pitman Publishing Corporation of 6 East 43 Street, New York, NY 10017, and also of Toronto, Canada and London, England.

The format was a landscape-orientation paperback with colour drawings on the front cover. Size: 19.5 cm (H) x 26 cm (W).

The series was also published as the "Grosset Art Instruction Series" by Grosset & Dunlap and each volume in that series is identical in size and internal text and image layout to the Pitman Art Series volume of the same name.
