Literary landmarks; a guide to good reading for young people, and teachers' assistant; with a carefully selected list of seven hundred books
Literary landmarks is a 1892 American reading guide by Mary E. Burt, published in Boston and New York by Houghton, Mifflin, for young readers and teachers, listing about seven hundred recommended books. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line diagrams of chains of linked rings, each ring labelled with an author, period, or title, arranged along curving or angled lines. A designer might take the chain-of-links device as a simple way to show sequence and connection in a timeline or reading path.
