Customer Reviews

It's good .... but flawed

It's got a LOT of books, it's very inclusive, the colour pictures are a great help. BUT, it doesn't mention the British publishers of some books, which were actually published in Britain, before the (listed) US first edition. So, it's flawed, but still worth the (very reasonable) price. I intend to buy the 1850-1950 book.

A superly laid out collector's guide and reference.

Diane McClure Jones and Rosemary Jones tackle a weighty task in Collector's Guide To Children's Books 1950-75 V. 3 which surveys children's selected books from picturebooks to young adult. Pricing may not be exact but the inclusion of many rare items will give collectors a good starting point for identification and valuation.
