These reproductions of McGuffey's readers are useful volumes for those interested in the history of education in America. The content is faithful to the original and the binding is sturdy. I work at a living history museum and we use these in our 19th century schoolhouse to demonstrate how children learned to read. This volume works well in demonstrating the manner in which students learned to spell for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and visitors to the museum often find it interesting that students learned were learning such advanced words at such a young age.
