AFRICAN AMERICANS: VOICES OF TRIUMPH
This set was designed for African American studies, and had a teaching set available to supplement the reading material in the three books. These books are crammed full of stories of black men and women who broke racial barriers, ran successful businesses, and became leaders, scientists, ship captains, doctors, lawyers, and so many other things. The stories are inspirational and interesting to read. Anyone who needs to write an essay for Black History month should absolutely start here. I think this is one of the best sets they ever produced, and it is one of the most overlooked.
These are hardcovers with laminated covers, the first book with a red background and the other two nearly identical with a black background. there is a textile scarf tying the three covers together as a set...

THE AMERICAN INDIANS
I loved this set growing up. Grandma Sissy had this one, as well as the Old West set. They were similarly bound, this one in red leatherette with embossed frames around the cover art. They brought the past and native cultures alive that were largely destroyed and have disappeared. We cannot fix what was broken, but we can remember, and try not to repeat history.

THE AMERICAN WILDERNESS
"In Europe, this series was published with The World's Wild Places all as one set with a few title changes; Wild Alaska became simply Alaska, The Bayous became The Bayous of Louisianna, Baja California became Mexico's Baja California, The Sierra Madre became Mexico's Sierra Madre and The Great Divide became The Rockies." - Michael Legg
I've found two different sets of ISBNs - and not all of them yet. The covers are coated hardboard with gorgeous landscape photography from the regions dominating the entire front cover. The titles changed on some, but the landscape photo chosen for each cover remained consistant. Only about half of this set got republished/rebranded with the The World's Wild Places. I've marked those that were reprinted in Europe with an "*".

AMERICA'S ARTS AND SKILLS
"The richness of America's native artistic tradition has never before been displayed with such breadth and scope as in this outstandingly handsome book developed from the LIFE series of articles on America's Arts and Skills. In the more than 250 full color illustrations showing more than 500 objects, plus numerous black and whites and over 30,000 words of illuminating text, the great history of the beautiful and useful things America has fashioned through three and a half centuries is dramatically portrayed..."
This had several different editions. The most recent I've found was published in 1971.
It is a compilation of articles that appeared in LIFE magazine from Apr. 18, 1955 to May 21, 1956.
This wasn't in Michael Legg's catalog - I found a listing for it in "The Book of Christmas". He certainly didn't miss much, but very early books like this one, and very late ones in the last years of Time-Life Books did occasionally slip by. I'm doing my best to fill in.

THE ART OF SEWING
I have no idea how I missed this one. An on-line friend, Hope Wright, Librarian Without Portfolio Extraordinaire, who has made some important contributions in the antique magazine catalogs, brought it to my attention(thank you!). She isn't willing to give her own set up for some reason, so I'll have to go find my own...
The covers are all different print frabrics, and one is bound in denim! They were one of the early sets, so weren't issued with ISBNs. They're a little harder to track than your average bear skin rug and because the index was printed as a softcover supplement, it often wanders away from the set.

AUSTRALIANS AT WAR
"Australians at War is a moderately long series published for Australia's 1988 bicentennial. Some of the volumes chronicle the role of Australians fighting in World War II, Korea, Vietnam or other wars and the rest describe the Australian military in general. I haven't had the opportunity to read one of these yet, but I'm told they're pretty good." -Michael Legg
The covers look very much like "The Vietnam Experience" set. According to Library of Congress, this set was never released in the USA - they have no record of it. I went looking on ebay.com.au and did find exactly one complete set for sale at $230(Aust)/$166(US) plus shipping, which for a set of this size and weight, could well be more than the cost of the books themselves when shipping from overseas.

BACKYARD LIVING
The "Backyard Living" series is a short series from 2000-2001. There are only 4 volumes and there is another, larger volume out there that has exerpts from all 4 others.
It looks like these were all treated as individual volumes and marketed as such; instead of playing up the series aspect, and as such I have rarely seen entire sets of these for sale on e-Bay. Still, you can probably find a set there if you keep trying." -Michael Legg

THE BIG BOOK OF MOBILES
These appear to be books with a mobile you can assemble for your child's room. I did a search for a couple of them on the Library of Congress website via their ISBN to see how they were listed so I could search for others and got the message "Your search found no results." Shouldn't anything with an ISBN be in their catalog?..
The take-away here is that Mr. Legg only had three listed, and I had only found four, so there may well be others and these four were the popular ones I was able to find details for. If you happen to know of any others, please let me know.

CELEBRATE THE CENTURY
This is a slip-cased set of 10 relatively slim hardcovers, jacketed, with a pocket on the inside cover to slip your stamps into. The 10 sheets of stamps, each one commemorating a different decade of the 20th century, were sold separately through the USPS(United States Postal Service). You can still find the stamps on ebay, if you luck into a set of the books without the stamps.

A CHARLES DICKENS CHRISTMAS COLLECTORS EDITION
This collection came slip-cased as a set, bound in red cloth with embossed borders and gold leaf titling, and as Mr. Legg stated, "they were reproduced photographically from an 1845 edition of the same works including original type sets, errors, illustrations, etc."
Except for "A Christmas Carol", you probably haven't read any of the other stories in this set unless you can afford something like the Eastman Press 21-volume set. This was a thrift store buy for me - a lucky find.

- The Battle of Life, A Love Story
- The Chimes, A Goblin Story

THE CHILDREN'S TREASURY OF KNOWLEDGE
So, I tried to spot check this set on the LoC catalog first using a title, then an ISBN, and got the "no results" message again. Mr. Legg had listed 8 titles, and I'd found 10, so I'm wondering if there's more I simply didn't find...

A CHILD'S FIRST LIBRARY OF LEARNING
This set was originally published in Japan by a very prominent toy manufacturer there, Gakken(think Mattel). They all have a little anime figure somewhere on the cover. It was designed to help parents teach young children ages 4-8. One title has either "Our Body" or "Our Bodies" depending on the printing, but have the same ISBN. The last book, the index titled "Quick Search!" I've only seen for sale in Australia...

A CHILD'S FIRST LIBRARY OF VALUES
This set came boxed, and the lessons appear to be in the form of a series of stories - both in book and video/audio? form. The only sets I've seen are in Australia, so I'm guessing that is where it was primarily sold. I'll include what values Time-Life thought important to teach through stories when I can find the information and put it in parentheses after each title...

CHRONICLES OF CRIME
This is a small set of reprinted books about famous crimes - I don't know if this is all of them. Mr. Legg had four listed, and I only found one more than that, but it seems to me there should be a great many more...

CLASSICS OF EXPLORATION
This is a set of reprints of famous exploration accounts in matched brown leather covers trimmed with red on the spines and borders. The only set of them I've seen were in Great Britain. They look wonderful and I wish I could find them. Mr. Legg had listed 19 and I found 20 - so there may be more that I have not accounted for. I could not find a listing anywhere that claimed to be a complete set.

CLASSICS OF THE OLD WEST
This is another set of reprinted accounts bound in brown leather with an embossed set of long horn steer horns on the front and gold leaf stamped lettering for the titling - very posh. Mr. Legg had noticed that the account of Billy the Kid was written by the man who killed him, and seemed a bit scandalized by this. Now that I think about it, so am I - but I'm not at all surprised. There were so many crimes committed in the Old West, this seems trivial in comparison. Here's a set that could have been accurately named "True Crimes of the Old West". This is another set I'd dearly love to have.
Mr. Legg's and my count differ on this set, but he may have been counting both volumes of "Eldorado" as one book.

CLASSICS OF TRANSPORTATION
This was a small, slip-cased 4-volume set with jacketed hardcover bindings. Each book is only 5.5"x5.75"(htxwd), but each provides a pictorial history of transport with a paragraph on each example giving its uses and historical background. I thought they were cool when I ran across them and picked them up on a whim - didn't occur to me they were a Time-Life product until I was startled by finding them in Michael Legg's Time-Life catalog. My set is missing the jacket for airplanes, but is otherwise intact.

COLLECTOR'S LIBRARY OF THE CIVIL WAR
"The Collector's Library of the Civil War is a series of books that were originally written by people who directly experienced the Civil War. Most of these volumes were originally published in the late 1800's - early 1900's but they were brought together and re-printed as a set by Time-Life in the early 1980's.

COLLECTOR'S LIBRARY OF THE UNKNOWN
"The Collector's Library of the Unknown is a set of reprints by various authors. The unifying theme is 'the unknown'; from holistic healing to palmistry, all of these books deal with unsolved mysteries or other unusual circumstances. I haven't read these yet, but they seem pretty interesting. Physically, these books look a lot like the Mysteries of the Unknown series, and sometimes they can be confused. Be careful!
Some of the authors in this series are noteworthy; Harry Houdini, Upton Sinclair, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes, The Lost World) are probably the best known." -Michael Legg

THE EMERGENCE OF MAN
This is a cool series that takes you through the speculative history of early man and the birth of civilization as we know it. This was one of the first sets I ever bought - from a used bookstore. Unfortunately, I don't have the Master Index that was supposed to come with it, and didn't know it was missing when I decided to buy them. These early mistakes of mine are what convinced me this page needed to be put together, despite it being outside my normal wheelhouse of craft books and magazines...

THE ENCHANTED WORLD
This was one of the first sets I bought - they are a joy to read if you are fascinated by fantasy tropes, and are beautifully illustrated. Mr. Legg says they were sold with a pack of gypsy fortune telling cards, but that wasn't my experience. That may have been for the first wave of subscribers? So that's something I've ended up adding to the wishlist I carry around with me.

THE EPIC OF MAN
""It doth not yet appear," said St. John in the New Testament, "what we shall be." The Epic of Man is the account of a still uncompleted but tremendous journey - the journey of man out of darkness into the light of civilization, out of mindless ignorance into a shuddering knowledge of himself and the inescapable fact that the power he has learned..."
There was a list of other books by the editors of LIFE in the front of "The LIFE Book of Christmas" and to my surprise, some of them weren't in Michael Legg's impressive catalog. This one was a one-off, and it looks like there were several different editions, including one slipcased. There several of these early books with very similar bindings and slipcasing, so while they weren't all a set, they look like one when sitting on the shelf.

AN EQUINOX BOOK
The explanation for the the title of the series escapes me. This series appears to be a collection of cultural and geographic maps of some of the best defined societies/countries on Earth. Michael Legg noted that half of these ended up published by other publishers, that there are different versions floating around, and some were released under another series name "FACTS ON FILE"...
I know this set was also published in the UK.

FOODS OF THE WORLD
Michael Legg said it best, "The Foods of the World series seeks to expose the reader to the indigenous cuisine from various areas of the world. Each volume represents the cooking techniques and styles used in one specific region, and in all they are pretty thorough. There is also a series of recipe binders that go along with this series; the titles are the same as the hardcover books but they are spiral bound.
Four more items exist; a short set of volumes (Kitchen Guide, Menu Guide and Recipe Index, Supplement 1 and Supplement 2) that are harder to get info on. I have heard these are softcover and similar to pamphlets."
The hardcovers did not have the titles on the covers, only on the spine. But the Spiral bound recipe books did have the titles on the covers.

GENERAL INTEREST
Mr. Legg wasn't sure this was an actual set of books, and I'm not either. I had a very difficult time finding any information at all on these titles, which I found pretty amusing considering the titles. I am particularly interested in tracking down a copy of "Secret Science".

GET A GRIP ON
They are soft-cover, and much smaller than what we know Time-Life Books best for. Mr. Legg says he saw them in a Barnes & Noble. I didn't think any of Time-Life Books were sold in book stores - they supposedly direct marketed all their books, so this one's a puzzle.

THE GOOD COOK
You'll see that I've got more listed here than what is considered a complete set.

HANDBAG HONEY
Mr. Legg said this set of books was a reference set women were expected to carry around in their purses. He further pointed out he didn't know any women who did this or would do this if given the opportunity. I'm thinking he was correct. However, from the titles, the do sound like they could still be useful. These came out as Time-Life was closing down, so some of them moved to other publishers.

HEALTHY HOME COOKING
"One caveat for the collectors, though; this series was published 4 times; there are regular and library versions published both here and by Time-Life UK so there are 4 ISBN numbers for each volume. I don't know yet whether the series are exactly the same, but I do know that the library bound books don't usually look the same as the regular ones." - Michael Legg

HISTORY MAKERS
I love the covers for this small series, and wish they'd done a lot more of them. I felt their choices were interesting and a good start. The stories are told from the viewpoint of the historical figures, and they are meant for high school level readers. I bought them when I was devouring biographies, and ran across one in the library.

HOME REPAIR AND IMPROVEMENT(Updated Series)
They repackaged and republished this set at least three times with varying editions from 1977 through the 1980's. I believe this was the last, and there were many revisions to it, including a big cover facelift. I'm listing this set separately from the parent set because there were so many changes. The easiest way to tell the sets apart at first glance is the larger font used for the title on the covers.

HOW THINGS WORK
I would love to find this set - I love the premise. Some of the information will be very dated now, but I still find them interesting. I don't have a sample of this set, so I'm only guessing that they are aimed at young adults and not children based on the cover art.
I have hunted every site I know trying to find the ISBN of "Light" or even just a complete set to confirm this was actually printed and not just planned but never executed. If you can confirm the existence of this one, I'd be grateful for an email from you.

THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE WORLD
This is a revised and updated, beautifully illustrated edition of John M. Roberts's History of the World, broken down into 10 volumes. Most of the sets I've seen are in the UK, but you can occasionally find it here in the US. It's a handsome set, and you don't need to be a professor to understand and enjoy it...

ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY OF NATURE
This is a really lovely set of books that would look really handsome in any kid's personal library. They're dated, but you get a gorgeous view of the world from the perspective of the 1980s with stunning photography throughout. This was previously published as Life Nature Library by Time-Life Books circa 1965, then revised and reissued by H.S. Stuttman Inc...
The series is numbered, but the titles are not in alphabetical order as I have them listed, so they are not set up like a set of encyclopedias, despite how they look.

LIBRARY OF AMERICA(Literature)
This one has stumped me. There is a nonprofit publisher called Library of America(founded in 1979, distributed by Penguin Random House Publisher, NY) and they put out titles like these, but I couldn't find any affiliation with Time-Life Books and there are a whole lot more of them than the thirty that Mr. Legg had listed(more than 10 times that many, in fact). This is one of those instances where I really wish all the links Michael painstakingly created were still viable so I could find at least ONE of these...

THE LIFE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS
This set of books delves into the history, meanings, trappings, and customs of a lot of people's favorite holiday. The Glory of Christmas quotes scripture and paints the scene of the first Christmas. The Merriment of Christmas gives recipes and crafts, and The Pageantry of Christmas provides music scores - religious overtones to the whole set; The set came slipcased, but I don't believe these three slim hardcovers were jacketed. The covers are rather plain, with gold leaf titling on cover and spine. I was able to pick up all three of these on www.paperbackswap.com after running across a reference to them on Michael Legg's catalog. This set was released simultaneously in Canada. Lovely illustrations throughout.

THE LIFE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
The red leather editions have the American flag for that time period displayed on the front cover and were originally released in the early 1960's, so they have no ISBNs. Mr. Legg mentions that the original red leather bound edition came with LPs of music from the era that book covered!
When they reissued them, they had jacketed cardboard covers instead(see second picture to left for visual reference), and no music, so if hunting for this set, I'd hold out for the red ones. As always, when a book or magazine has this something extra with it, ALWAYS contact the seller and confirm that the extra whatever is still with the issue/book - the seller is usually completely unaware of these things and isn't trying to cheat you. They simply didn't know something got separated and lost, so if they don't explicitly mention it being intact in the listing, ask - chances are good it is not complete.

LIFE LIBRARY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Michael Legg rightfully points out this series came out before digital photography was a thing - it was first released in 1970, and again in the early 1980's. It is still well worth pursuing if you work in the medium or are a serious hobbyist. I don't own this set(yet), but it is definitely on my wishlist. It isn't just useful, it's inspiring!

LIFE NATURE LIBRARY
This set was translated into several different languages: Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish. It may also have been translated into Asian languages but I haven't been able to track down any yet. Dr. Kenneth Dodd, a retired professor from Florida, brought this to my attention and sent me his list.(Thank you!). This set was revised and reprinted in the 1970's.
The index for this set was hardbound to match the rest and is considered the 25th volume in the Life Nature Library. This is one of those sets where they originally envisioned only seven books and had a starting staff of only 3 editors(they were a staff of more than 25 by the time the project was completed). This set runs to well over a million words and nearly 4,000 pictures. It has been translated into eight different languages and was sold in more than 90 countries around the world....

LIFE PICTORIAL ATLAS OF THE WORLD
"The 16th Century Flemish geographer, Gerardus Mercator, was the first to use the word "atlas" for a volume of maps, and many early collections were embellished with an engraving of the Titan Atlas supporting a globe. In this ancient tradition, the LIFE Pictorial Atlas offers a set of reference maps of the world plus an index of some 75,000 place..."
This was another book in my magpie collection of books. It wasn't on Michael Legg's list, but he may not have listed it because it wasn't specifically done by the Time-Life Book division, just the Life editors in cooperation with Rand McNally. He did include other sets done by the Life editors, though. I'm including it here because it falls into that time frame, is cool, and because it is a kissing cousin of Time-Life - they were all dipping into the same well for their materials. This is 600 pages of gorgeous photos of the world and detailed maps. It's in a huge format - 14"x10.5" and over 8 pounds, so whatever you do don't drop it or you can kiss a toe or two goodbye. It has a handsome blue slipcase with a gold leaf globe embossed on its sides.

LIFE'S PICTURE HISTORY OF WORLD WAR II
"It is very silly to say, as some do, that wars never settle anything. They have settled a great many things, such as the independence of the United States of America. It is a deep and true instinct of mankind to honor those who have fought, and especially those who suffered wounds and death in battle. Thi..."
This wasn't in Michael Legg's catalog - I found a listing for it in "The Book of Christmas". He certainly didn't miss much, but very early books like this one, and very late ones in the last years of Time-Life Books did occasionally slip by. I'm doing my best to fill in.

THE LIFE TREASURY OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE
This had several different editions, the UK edition having the most colorful cover.
It is a compilation of articles that appeared in LIFE magazine from Aug. 31, 1959 to Aug. 22, 1960 and not to be confused with B.A. Botkin's 1944 book of the same title.
This wasn't in Michael Legg's catalog - I found a listing for it in "The Book of Christmas". He certainly didn't miss much, but very early books like this one, and very late ones in the last years of Time-Life Books did occasionally slip by. I'm doing my best to fill in. I was surprised to realize that I already had this one in my collection. I am a student of folklore and have a special interest in the folklore of my continent. That usually means the stories told by native Americans, but it also means the treasure of folklore that sprung from the invading Europeans and developed as we grew into a nation.

LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG BOOK
These were children's books marketed as a series by Fischer-Price in the UK - I thought. But there appears to be two printings and there was a slight title change ("All" was added to the titles).
The "070540" of Time-Life ISBNs is a clue that it was published by the UK branch of Time-Life. I have ignored the UK ISBNs for the most part for now on the assumption that most people using this page will want the US ISBNs primarily and not wish to pay shipping costs for overseas purchases. As many of these sets that were published there, though, I may have to rethink it. In any case, I will be making another pass through the page to add that set of numbers to the sets that were published there - I'm just trying to get this first pass done first to make sure I've got the complete sets listed so everyone will know what they are looking for. If you have a strong feeling otherwise, please get in touch and let me know.

LOST CIVILIZATIONS
This is a wonderful series with lavish art and accessible prose about the rise and fall of civilizations all over the world - it's one of my favorites! There is one book that Michael Legg lists, "China's Celestial Empire", that I have never found. It may have been a retitling of a later printing? If anyone knows the answer to this mystery, please, get in touch and let the rest of us know. For now, my count for this set sits at 24...

MARIE CLAIRE STYLE
I'm a bit nonplussed by this series - way out of my unfashionable wheelhouse. Did women really need a book's worth of tips on bathing? Apparently. Some of the others look interesting, though. Here's one of the sets that came late in the Time-Life line-up, so Mr. Legg missed a few titles. I've filled in a few more, but I may have missed some, as this fashion brand continued to publish into the 2010s. I included only the ones I thought fit into the set that Time-Life started...

MILLER'S 1912 HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR
This appears to be a reprinting of older material. I do not know if it was excerpted from ten volumes to four, or whether it was rebound into four volumes from ten. I cannot find two of the titles, and this set was published right on the cusp of Time-Life Books disappearing for good, so the last two may not have made it into print....

NATIVE AMERICAN VOICES
These are reprints of biographies and autobiographies of North American natives of different tribes. Mr. Legg found 3 of them, and I found 3 more - it may not be all of them. I haven't been able to find the Time-Life edition of "Apauk, Caller of Buffalo", which was on Mr. Legg's list, and I only have 4 of the six in the embossed leather binding. If someone has "Apauk" or "Life of Black Hawk", could you please get in touch to confirm their inclusion?..

THE NATURE COMPANY ECO-SYSTEM EXPLORERS
These are children's books. These are clever Mix-and-Match books. Each has all the pages divided into 3 sections that can be flipped so that you match parts from different pages to create different pictures. I remember having one as a kid that had different fashions on each page that you could then mix up to create different outfits....

THE OLD WEST
This is a set my grandmother bought when we were pretty young, so she must have gotten in on the first wave. I thought they were beautiful, and they were full of so many stories about the land I was growing up in. This is one of the sets that first gave me my love of these series. They were similarly bound, this one in brown leatherette with embossed frames around the cover art, with long-horn steer horns as part of the embossing at the bottom of each cover.

PEOPLES OF THE WILD
These look like they were ripped directly from the pages of "National Geographic"! I would love to find this set. I don't know if my list is complete - Mr. Legg had even fewer of them cataloged and mentioned he had a hard time tracking any of them down as well. It must not have been a popular series - I'm mystified as to why...

PICTURE COOK BOOK
"This was a new kind of cook book in 1958, paying a great deal of attention to the way the food looks. It is very much a period piece, but the photographs are timeless. There are some 600 recipes pictured."
This wasn't in Michael Legg's catalog - I found a listing for it in "The Book of Christmas". He certainly didn't miss much, but very early books like this one, and very late ones in the last years of Time-Life Books did occasionally slip by. I'm doing my best to fill in. This was a one-off edited by Mary Hamman.

"The text for this book was specially abridged by Denis Kelly from Sir Winston Churchill's six-volume memoirs entitled The Second World War, excerpts from which were published in LIFE from 1948 to 1953. The picture essays were written by Robert Wernick and the map captions by David Bergamini. The photographs and paintings were selected from the finest work of World War II made by both Allies and enemies. Many of these illustrations appeared in the weekly issues of LIFE during and after the war, while others are here published for the first time..."
This was taken from work originally published in 1948 by the Houghton Mifflin Co.
This wasn't in Michael Legg's catalog - I found a listing for it in "The Book of Christmas". He certainly didn't miss much, but very early books like this one, and very late ones in the last years of Time-Life Books did occasionally slip by. I'm doing my best to fill in.

THE SESAME STREET BOOK OF
The Sesame Street Learning Kit came with these five books, a couple of posters of the Sesame Street gang, an LP record of their learning songs, and a parent's guide, in case the parents got confused(I'm guessing). This kit was available through bookstores and was sold as a complete set. I know all this because I found an ad for it on ebay. So I learned something else I didn't know before - apparently there's a market for ads from magazines independent of the magazines themselves...

THE THIRD REICH
Despite my firm belief that one must know history lest we repeat it, this is one of the few sets that holds no interest for me. I feel I know all I need to know about this political movement from Germany. I know there are still sympathizers for them today. What they did was monstrous, and a painful reminder there is a bad dog in all of us that we should never feed.
*Mr. Legg has two more titles in his list than I did, but mentions they may have been planned but never released.

THIS FABULOUS CENTURY(booklets)
The covers of one release of these are covered in different print fabrics like "The Art of Sewing" series. Another release had this funky collage, and another had all black-and-white photographs, with five of the books using the same photos of the smaller paperback slipcased set.
The set of five slipcased paperbacks that summarized what is in the hardcover set - they only cover 1920 to 1970, have very distinctive red covers framing the photographs(see picture of these below the catalog of titles).
In double-checking the ISBNs I collected on these, a couple aren't being recognized by Bookfinder. The 1970s set did not have ISBNs. There are several complete sets on ebay for very reasonable prices in whichever cover format you prefer. I will get the ISBNs straightened out when I have more than a few minutes to rub together.

TIME LIFE EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM
This is an eclectic mix of inventive books designed to teach young children a wide variety of things. I think kids blessed with parents who could afford to buy them books like this were pretty blessed.
Mr. Legg had only listed 17 of these, but I had come up with 19 when I went sleuthing, so I've left a question mark as we could both equally be wrong...

THE TIME-LIFE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GARDENING
This series is a lot longer than "The Complete Gardener" - nearly twice as long, and was the first and most complete of their gardening series. The authors aren't given for "The Complete Gardener", but matching titles are the same length - I will have to get my hands on both sets to compare to see if the newer set is an excerpt of this original set. Gorgeous covers, but you can only find the titles on the spines! Gorgeous photos and lots of useful information...

TIME-LIFE GARDENER'S GUIDE
Mr. Legg thought there were 18, but I only found 16, and Mr. Legg neglected to provide a titles list, so you're stuck with my count for the time being. If you can correct me here, I'd be ever so grateful...

TIME-LIFE HISTORY OF THE WORLD
Mr. Legg said this series is the same as "Time Frame"(issued with different ISBNs) except for the two titles marked with a "*" below. This set was bound in dark blue leather with a photo framed on the front. From what I can tell, this blue leather set was released in the UK at the same time it was being published in the USA with entirely different covers - and the two he said were missing from the "Time Frame" set were published here too, so this is one of those rare instances where Mr. Legg was confused.

THE TIME-LIFE ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY OF COOKING
The 1969 set is in gold bindings with a food picture on front cover. This set is 120pages each, while the later edition is in red bindings with beautiful food dishes displayed on each cover, and only 80 pages each. The titles were considerably shortened for the second run as well. They were published in cooperation with the Culinary Arts Institute.
I'm still trying to figure out all of the details on the 1980's reprint. I've marked the two titles I have listed from the 1980's here marked with a "*". I'll do a deeper dive to fill in the complete picture on this when I have more time...

TIME-LIFE STUDENT LIBRARY
Aimed at ages 9-12, yet another beautifully illustrated and engagingly written set of books designed to entertain as much as enlighten.
Mr. Legg only had 8 of these listed, and I had found 10, so I'm putting a question mark after the number of volumes in the set until I can convince myself that's really all there were...

TIME READING PROGRAM SPECIAL EDITION SERIES
The original set were published in paperback in the 1960's but then another set (of 50) were printed in 1980 with red leatherette covers. Both series are reprints of classic works and are often also referred to as the Time Reading Program Special Edition. -Michael Legg
Roland Delaune sent me a great photo of the entire 1980 set stacked with the spines out so the titles were easy to read(thank you!). I've marked this set with an asterisk(*) at the end of each title, so you'll know which books were part of this later set. I am still missing two titles, if "Cider With Rosie/The Edge of Day" is counted as one title. "Cider With Rose" was used as the title for the 1980 red leatherette set. There is a great deal of lust in my heart for this set - so many titles I would love to read and wouldn't the set look gorgeous on my shelves! -Leigh

TREASURES OF THE WORLD
Mike Legg mentions that Stonehenge Press is a subsidiary of Time-Life Books - something I didn't know! You can tell from the titles what trove you're going to get great photos and history of.
I had a much easier time finding complete sets using Stonehenge Press than Time-Life when I went to see how easy these are to find now. I have a set of these, and they appear to be bound in silk fabric. Silk isn't as sturdy as other fabrics, and sadly will not stand up to the test of time, but right now the set I have still looks gorgeous on the shelf...

UNDERSTANDING COMPUTERS
These are very dated now, of course, but they are a fascinating window onto what was cutting edge in the late 1980's and what engineers thought would be the future of the industry...
I have this set on my shelves, so I can answer questions if you have them.

UNDERSTANDING SCIENCE AND NATURE
This is a set for young teens. Mr. Legg claimed there were 18, but I only found 17. He thought there might be a "Resource Guide and Teacher's Guide," but I could find no evidence of it, or of "*Master Index and Teacher's Guide". I found instead "Resource Guide and Master Index." The index is bound like the rest of the set...

THE VIETNAM EXPERIENCE
There are two different sets that Boston Publishing put out, one through Time-Life, and the other through bookstores. I'm still trying to sort out a complete set of the Time-Life series, so some of this information could be(and probably is) inaccurate. Mr. Legg had listed quite a few titles I'd not encountered, so I'll need to do a deeper dive on this one and see what I can figure out. For now, I've got the 37 titles listed that Mike had gathered. This is the only Time-Life set I have about one of the wars, and I apparently don't have all of it. Mine is a Frankenstein set - I've been piecing it together from individual finds in used bookstores over the years. It was the war I wanted to understand in better depth because I have so many older friends who were vets of that war. I wanted to understand better what they had gone through.

WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE
I'm pretty sure "*In the Land of the Jaguar" was planned but never actually published - a great pity, as that was a culture I would have loved to read a lot more about, having a very different viewpoint from the Aztec culture that followed. I'd pay a great deal for the galleys of this one.
This is one of my favorite sets, and a pleasure to read. If you're a writer yourself and looking for historical perspectives, this is a fantastic find. It is hardbound with dust jackets, so if you have them, I'd invest in mylar sleeves for the jackets to keep them nice. If your jackets are already tattered or torn, the sleeves will help stop the decay and preserve what is left. Any library supply will be able to help you out. Just read through the titles, I dare you, and see if you aren't immediately curious!

WILD, WILD WORLD OF ANIMALS
This was based on a wonderful TV program that aired back in the 1970s, inspired by an even earlier NBC program, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. I was a big fan of both growing up. If I'd known there were books based on it, I'd have asked my grandmother for them - she often watched these shows with me and got just as much enjoyment out of them. (I think she may have had a thing for Jim).
Michael Legg pointed out that these were printed by a couple of different publishers...

THE WONDERS OF LIFE ON EARTH
"This book is a companion volume to "The World We Live In", which recounts the physical history of the planet Earth and the relationships between its varied domains and the inhabitants through all the millenniums of time. THE WONDERS OF LIFE ON EARTH tells the grand story of life itself: what it is, what has shaped it, and how - through ceaseless..."
The material for this one was drawn from the nature articles that appeared in LIFE between 1957 and 1959, with some new material added.
There was a list of other books by the editors of LIFE in the front of "The LIFE Book of Christmas" and to my surprise, some of them weren't in Michael Legg's impressive catalog. This one was a one-off, and had several different editions, including a slip-cased edition. It was reprinted in 1961 as a 3-volume set.

THE WORLD'S 100 BEST RECIPES
I only found six books for this series - all done by the same author in a year's time. It was released in the UK. This author was quite prolific and published many many recipe books.
I went hunting for a cover picture - any picture at all - for one of the books from this set so I could at least describe it, and I finally found ONE(1). The seller was offering it for about $100 dollars. For a cookbook. Well, I had a good chuckle and moved on. So this cookbook writer may be highly sought after - I have no idea, and I don't even know if I found them all. So if you are more savvy than I am and can set me straight on this, I'd be grateful.

THE WORLD'S WILD PLACES
Information about this set was provided by fellow enthusiast Christian Perreiah, an American history teacher in Spokane, Washington(Thank you, Chris!). He believes this set may also have been sold in Europe.
Mr. Legg believed this set was published by Time-Life International in Amsterdam. Some of the covers match those of "The American Wilderness". At least some of the AW series were released with this one, only their titles were more specific, like "Florida's Everglades" instead of "The Everglades" and "The Bayous of Louisiana" instead of just "The Bayous". I've marked the books that weren't part of the "The American Wilderness" with an "*". If you can find those thirteen, and have the complete AW set, then you'll have the whole run with just the titles changed a bit.

THE WORLD WE LIVE IN
This is a 3-volume boxed set. "The World We Live In" series originally appeared in LIFE at intervals of approximately 2 months from December 1952 to December 1954. It consisted of 13 parts. Each one was researched by one who devoted an average of 8 months to the job of gathering, evaluating, organizing data for the piece. The book set is basically a compilation of the parts of the series, edited and organized by Lincoln Barnett.
It was originally compiled in one volume in 1955 and had a lovely slipcased edition.

YOUNG READERS LIBRARY
I only ever found 12 of these, but Mr. Legg claimed there were 13 - and his list of the titles no longer shows on the Wayback Machine. The books are numbered on the spine for the 4th edition 1-12, so if there is a 13th book, it may be an index, which often go missing for these sets.
These are a set of nature and science books geared for younger readers, with Time-Life's usual genius for engaging photography...
