Description
The Junior Deluxe Editions are likely to be familiar to anyone who was a child in the 50s or 60s, or who haunt charity and second-hand bookstores keeping an eye out for cheerful-looking children’s novels. Most of the books have long since lost their dust jackets, and the brightly coloured boards with decorative images on the spines and folksy cover designs are instantly recognizable. The books were published from the early 1940s to late 1960s by Garden City in New York.
Condition: All books are in excellent condition with secure pages and no seam splits. Please note that “Gulliver’s Travels” has some black marker on the title page; refer to the gallery for an example.
