Library of Texas
The Library of Texas is a series of new editions of important firsthand accounts of nineteenth-century Texas, initiated to fill a need for well-introduced, well-indexed, and well-made editions of classic books. A noted scholar has written a full introduction to each volume, and the books are produced to high typographic standards. They are uniform in size, yet distinctive in design, printed on acid-free paper and bound in attractive, enduring materials. The Library of Texas books are both handsome and useful, to be read with confidence and pleasure for generations.
The Library of Texas was launched in 1991 by Tom Taylor, the premier printer in Texas. In 1996, The Library of Texas moved to SMU, where it is published jointly by the DeGolyer Library and the Clements Center for Southwest Studies (with assistance from the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation).
