A sister series, World Landmark Books,
debuted in 1953, but did not enjoy the same success. By
1961, both series were down to four titles a year, and
further cuts followed. World Landmark ended in 1968 with
#63, The United Nations in War and Peace.
Landmark lasted two more years, through #122, The
Mysterious Voyage of Captain Kidd.
