Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The Whitman Publishing Co. published the 8 inch books known as 50-cent juveniles. These books provide a snapshot of popular culture from the years they were published, the 1910s to the 1970s. They were published in a variety of series such as Whitman Classics, Adventures For Boys, Mysteries, and the most notable, the Authorized Editions, which were gleaned from radio, screen, comic strips, and TV series. Considering the many characters and personality figures that were featured in the Whitman books, there is enormous crossover collectibility of these books for other fields. Written with the collector in mind, this book was thoughtfully organized by author, volume number, and title. There are nearly 400 color photos and each title has the author, volume number, copyright date, type of cover, number of pages, other books in the series, and a current value. It supplies all you need to know about defects and grading, and there's a considerable amount of historical information of the Whitman company. 1999 values. REVIEW: This book highlights those infrequently seen, hard-to-find items from the Depression era and the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. It is the 5th in a 6-book series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for this book., December 3, 1998
By A Customer
This book brought back many memories of my childhood. I went in search of Whitman books and probably have over 300 now. Eagerly anticipating a follow-up edition. Are there any other Whitman Collectors out there?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Memory Jogger Reference & Value Guide !, April 12, 2000
Delightful book (originally published in 1997) has been updated with '99 values. The 144 page book features more than 400 sharp, large, full color cover photographs of the Whitman Juvenile Books you may have enjoyed as a child. Sufficient background information is provided along with collectors information, grading your books, conventions, and more. You'll enjoy browsing and using this book. Very enjoyable !
