Barnes & Noble began releasing adult literature classics around 1992 (according to copyright dates found in some of the books). The collection comprised 63 classics with two separate types of dustjackets: black and cream. The cream dustjacket collection appears to be exactly the same as the black dustjacket collection except with a few more included titles. This is because cream colored dustjackets were produced first. In late 1997 or early 1998 the dustjackets were converted to the Black format.
