My earliest collection was the Methuen series of English Plain and Colored Books; small; red cloth covers with paper titles on the spine; illustrated by the likes of Rowlandson and Cruikshank.
I also collect old Penguins, old Modern Library and Travelers Library from Jonathan Cape.

we do have a group here for Modern Library collectors. Not sure about the others. I bet a group for vintage Penguins would be fun and well populated.

Greetings; I am a Clarence Budington Kelland historian. I have been contacted by a retired book collector who re-publishes out of print juvenile series books and dust jackets. He has just made available the three 'missing' Mark Tidd books by Kelland; Mark Tidd in Paris, Mark Tidd in Palestine, and Mark Tidd Back Home. These stories appeared in the 1930's in American Boy magazine but were never published.
Only 50 books of each first edition set will be available for sale. Information is available on the Kelland site, www.clarencebudingtonkelland.com and the books are now for sale on eBay.
Since I am new to this site, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong group, or any error in etiquette or procedure.
Thanks,
Cbkstuff

Little books always appeal to me, especially tiny vintage books (still big enough to read without a microscope, though). Does anybody remember the ya titles (Tarzan, Aquaman, etc) that came out in the 70's that looked square and fat? I loved collecting those when I was small. Did Whitman publish those?? Now, it's the old Cardinal and Pocket Books paperbacks that I collect in the mystery (mostly Erle Stanley Gardner) genre.

jadebird -- those old vintage paperbacks have such great covers, especially the mysteries and science fiction.

>7 MaggieO: MaggieO I love the art. And any Frazetta or Boris covers for Burroughs or Howard titles. Pretty wowie.
>8 bookstopshere: Yes! Big Little Books. That was it! But mine weren't as vintage as those shown on the homepage of the site you found. Thank you bookstopshere! Oh, do I want that Charlie Chan...

Regarding those "little books," the only one in my library, as I remember it right now, is this one from Moby Books (Waldman Publishing):

The Moby books are all cute little paperbacks, right? I have a paperback Moby: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The Big Little Books I'm thinking of are hardbacks.

#10: My brother and I found a bunch of those at a church consignment sale when we were little (preschool and early elementary). He picked out The War of the Worlds (exact one as pictured above) but never read it; it's sitting on my bookshelf now. I got the Swiss Family Robinson, as it was one of my favorite movies at the time. Ah, childhood memories.
