I was at Borders yesterday and while walking through the children's section, happened to see this book on the Valentine book display table. I couldn't believe such a book was in print again, and of course bought it, for the price is GREAT...only $4.99 for 25 Valentine cards. I have seen vintage books like these, some not even complete, go for $40 or more on ebay.

I collect vintage Valentine cards and have quite a few. I bought these because I like to have old-fashioned looking cards for my children and myself to send to relatives and friends. My children are homeschooled, and so never have had a school Valentine party where they needed Valentines to trade. I was always glad, because the ugly offerings we see in the stores really disappoint...who really wants a Sponge Bob valentine???

This book is very nice for children. The cards have fuzzy flocking on them, like was popular years ago. The cards are very very easy for a child to punch out. Some require a fold or two, some require inserting a tab into a slot, like the cute one of the ducky in the washtub of water. The book also includes cutouts to make 8 envelopes for the cards you would want to put in an envelope. Overall, these cards are just so pleasant to look at, with cute Valentine sayings; I can't imagine any child, adult, or grandparent not being happy to receive one of these cards. And they are easy enough that a child feels like he is "making" something, yet it isn't complicated at all. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves vintage Valentines or who wants a better alternative to the modern Valentine card offerings.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish the nicer kids Valentines would come back! February 6, 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was very nostalgic for me as these were the nice, fun, with sweet sayings and just plain cute Valentine's that were from my era. At 57 I'm raising another child...four years old now...and I will continue to search for like products for her to share with her friends and classmates. They will make memories for her and bring back fond memories to me. Publishers take note...give us quality...or at least the choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved these old fashioned Valentines February 22, 2007
By P. king
Format:Paperback
They were just like the valentines when I was little-in the 60's. A reminder of a kinder, gentler time and valentines for everyone in the class. You do have to make your own envelopes-just like in grade school. So they don't work too well for mailing, but I made a garland out of several strung together and loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute Valentines!!
We love the old style Valentine's and these are great. They are much better than the character themed cards in the stores that often don't even have hearts on them or envelopes.
