Edition XLIX 2006. “A Passage to India” by E. M. Forster. This is the last edition before the 50th in the series, which ran from 1958-2007. The elaborate presentation represents MeadWestvaco’s showcasing of their skills in mixed media and paper. I am not sure why they chose a tale of India by a British author to cap a series of American Classics, but perhaps one day I’ll find out.
Presented in a hinged upright platform case with magnetic closure and adorned with a leaf and stem pattern stamped on gold on saffron cloth, lined with apple green paper.
The mixed media package is a 2 disc set (one dvd and one music cd) called Intriguing India, housed in a Digipak in Apple green.
