Endpapers: Heavy paper, single color art with shading, or light paper and black line art
Page Tops: Single color topstain
This less familiar format was used for the new series starting from about
1960–63. Everything is pretty much the same as the tweed books –– colored page tops, single-color endpapers, full-color dust
jackets, etc. The binding was more like an irregular lattice pattern, though. This format was very short-lived, and only two series that
I know of were made in the format, besides the Janet Lambert books. The binding only came in two colors.
Blue-Grey Lattice
Tan Lattice
Memorable Series Books Beginning in this Format

eight of the nine volumes in this format.

The excellent Biff Brewster series contained 13 titles, the first 10 of
which were published in this format. Four of the books were written by Peter Harkins who also collaborated with Hal Goodwin on
some of the Rick Brant books. Each of the books in this series featured a different region or country, as seen in the titles.
