Who else remembers Vincent Price flogging this series by Time Life Books back in the 80's? These are good books, full of classic and new art, but readers should be aware they are full of embellishment and sometimes modern "spin," and not to be taken as scholarly or encyclopedic, like the classic "Man, Myth, and Magic". Financial situations made me have to quit the series before I could get all the books; I'm not sure which are missing.

Book Count: 711.

I'm pretty sure I have all of them. I seem to remember canceling, but then someone from Time/Life called me and said there were only three more left for me to complete the set, so I got them all. I'll check through the list and see which ones you don't have.
