Bantam Classic Book Series

Bantam Classics is a book series from Bantam Books, started in 1958, reprinting mostly public domain, unabridged classic books, intended to increase backlist sales and reintroduce the works to new audiences. More than a hundred books have been released in the series.^[1][2]

Like competing editions, Bantam Classics are printed with an introduction from a literary critic, and in the case of Moby Dick, with a selection of critical essays on the novel appended as well.^[3]
