Book League of America printed and published contemporary and classic books. The clothbound hardcover was commonly a dark navy-blue, though sometimes red or black. There was an embossed logo on the front. The spine featured book title and author in gold or silver gilt lettering, along with decorative scrolling. Many of the books did not include a publish date. Most of the pages were smooth-cut on the top and bottom edges, and deckle-edged on the outer edge. Some books contained the note: "This book is standard length, complete and unabridged. Manufactured under wartime conditions in conformity with all government regulations controlling the use of paper and other materials." This explains the yellowed or tanning paper condition, more noticeable in some books than others. Many of the books did not include a publish date.
