While I'm on the subject of vintage kid's stuff, I thrifted this 1960's Golden Book Encyclopedia for a dollar awhile back and have been meaning to share it. The book is full of wonderful images and I get a kick out of reading the charmingly simplistic explanations of things:

The title IS beautiful :)
Hi Missa
I love these illustrations! :)
I have a bit of a weird question - I think, as a newbie to Flickr and w_r, I didn't really examine people who added me as a contact too closely. I've spent half an hour this evening going through them and blocking quite a few who have photostreams that make me very uncomfortable. Do you find this happens too? Unsavoury types adding you? I don't want to think I'm doing anything to attract this kind of weirdness :(
Anyway, will be more stringent with contacts from now on.
Thanks!
Andrea
Thanks ladies!
Andrea- I sent you a flickrmail regarding your question.
What a great quote--and I love that B! Is the artist listed anywhere, perhaps on the verso of the title page?
I love old kids books and you seem to be the queen of them! Wow. And that quote really is wonderful.
what an amazing find. this is what thrifting is all about :oD
the queen of fifty cents: Yes, the artist is listed. His name is William Dugan.
