Time-Life The Old West Wikia



Welcome to the Time-Life The Old West Wikia
Welcome to the official unofficial wiki of the classic Time-Life series "The Old West" and its subsequent series, "Classics of The Old West".

Between 1973 and 1980, then book publisher Time-Life Books published a series of 27 books relating to the American Old West during its heyday and creation. They followed the series with an additional 31 books that were all reprints of popular books released during the days of the Old West, and later, in 1990, a single volume which combined information from the original series.

This wiki exists to document the various differences between revisions and alternate releases, and to provide an encyclopedic database to cataloging all information relating to this valuable and informative series.

While earlier books in the series did not possess an infringement clause, volumes and revisions after 1977 all possessed the following text on the book's first page:
 * © (Date:1973-2003) Time-Life Books Inc. All rights reserved.  No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval devices or systems, without prior written permission from the publisher, except that brief passages may be quoted for reviews.

This wiki does not exist to impose any sort of copyright infringement. As of 2003, the Books department at Time-Life no longer publishes any books, nor do they offer any information regarding the series they once published. As this series was one of the company's most popular sellers, the wiki exists to definitively and comprehensively cover this series, giving it the professionalism that it deserves, and the same level of professionalism and attention to detail that Time-Life put into making the series. It is a series that will live on in the hearts and minds of fans forever.
