Condition: Overall Good vintage used condition, with condition varying somewhat from book to book. Most books present well for their age with typical light shelf, cover, edge, corner and/or spine wear. Interiors were looked through and are generally clean and present very well. No torn or missing pages were noticed.

A few books have more noticeable wear and should be considered closer to Acceptable condition, particularly Frog and Toad Together and Mouse Tales, which have heavier exterior/spine wear. Owl at Home, A Bargain for Frances, and Johnny Lion’s Rubber Boots also show some additional exterior wear/marks as pictured.

Little Bear’s Visit has some pencil markings/drawing on the rear endpaper. Father Bear Comes Home retains a vintage Weekly Reader Children’s Book Club advertisement attached inside the rear cover.

Pages show normal age toning consistent with vintage books.

Please review all photos carefully for exact condition. Photos are part of the description.

Great nostalgic collection of vintage Weekly Reader/I Can Read hardcovers, particularly for fans and collectors of Little Bear, Maurice Sendak, Arnold Lobel, Frog and Toad, Frances, and classic children’s literature.

All 11 books are included and will be sold together as one lot.
