Huge collection of 82 Children's books from the Junior Deluxe Editions Library or Doubleday Classics printings. These vintage Mid-century books feature great colored binds on the top of the majority of the books; and were made available via a monthly book club. Do you have some nursery or children's’ bookshelves to fill?
Featuring candy colored binds on the top of each book - the MCM grouping of books is beautiful in a set from both the rainbow and vanilla directions.
In their era, these were a subscription type book set, with flyers on options and monthly releases; after an initial order of six books a year. They are great lookers for adults or kids. The collection was not purchased by one family but is a gathered set and books are of different ages.
