PRAEGER WORLD OF ART (FREDERICK A. PRAEGER, INC.)
Series Note: This series comes in two formats, each with its own series name variant:
(1) Praeger World of Art Paperbacks: paperback format
(2) Praeger World of Art Series: hardback format
This series has been described as being "remarkable for quality of writing (scholarly but always lucid) and lavishness of illustration" (Source: Edward Barry, "Bottles, hot dogs map zany 'pop' art laneways", in: Chicago Tribune, 17 October 1965, p. 2.)
Many of the Praeger World of Art titles were also published in The World of Art Library by the publisher Thames & Hudson, London, U.K.
