This item is a collectible vintage hardcover book titled "Better Homes and Gardens Story Book," originally published in 1950. The book’s title and distinct illustrations are impressed into the yellow textured cloth cover.

It features a collection of 50 classic children's stories, nursery rhymes, songs, and poems selected by Betty O'Connor, including favorites such as Peter Rabbit, Little Black Sambo, Old Mother Hubbard, The Night Before Christmas, and more. Many stories are illustrated in duochrome, color, or black-and-white.

The book has 159 pages and measures approximately 7 ½ inches x 10 ¼  inches x 5/8 inch.

This book is in good used condition. The cover shows wear, some age-related discoloration, and a stain on the back and spine. The spine binding is tight. There is writing on the nameplate on the inside cover (see pics)—no writing, holes, rips, or tears on the other pages. The pages show minor tanning.  There are four small foxing spots on pages: one on pp vi, two on pp vii, and one on pp 61. This is not a guarantee; there may be more foxing spots I missed.
