Welcome to the series overview for the American Geographical Society's Around the World Program, a wonderful set of books published in the 1950s discussing various countries across the globe. How I acquired this set is discussed in my first post, but as I've now added all ten volumes in my possesion, it's now time to give all these posts a hub for the many links associated with these illustrations. From now on, this will be the starting point for the Around the World Program books, and should I acquire more, I'll add them here as well.Summary: Book Covers

Hi Dave,
I have been collecting these books for some time now 1st and 2nd Edition and I have a lot. More that 60 i am sure with a few doubles.
I would like to find out how many are actually out there. Do you know the total number of these "around the world program books" produced by the American geographical society?
I see your link that says "10 sets of illustrations and covers". So I wonder the total number.
Chris
