No Sir, it is a hard cover encyclopedia size book with an olive blank cover with the embossed eagle clutching 3 arrows in his righttalon and a shield in his left. The binder is blue and yes the narrative is by Bruce Catton.

I pulled the jacket off of my copy to see what it looked like. It is different from yours. All navy blue with gold lettering on the spine. I can tell you that "the embossed eagle clutching 3 arrows in his right talon and a shield in his left" is the American Heritage insignia. It is (or was) on all of their publications.
