You SEARCH to the left by title if you like...At Steve's Collectibles, we have found that some of our happiest customers that we have met in this business are those that have LOCATED a favorite children's book from childhood or gotten it for a loved one. Usually, many years have passed since even the cover has been viewed. Sometimes, even the book title is not remembered until... These books make very unique and personal holiday or Christmas gifts when you don't know what to get for someone. Picture books are as important today as they were in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s & 1970s when most of our vintage collection was available, as new. Most People remember Little Golden Books but we also have many different series including: Elf, Wonder, Bonnie, Tiny Tales, Tell-A-Tale Books etc. Look for them here also. We hope that you enjoy reminiscing inside our collection AND if you find something that you really must have, we would love to help there also with an easy purchase experience! Be sure and Add us to your Favorites as new arrivals occur most days. And don't forget to check out our Newest Additions to the collection.

The Artists and Writers Guild produced these books and Western Printing and Lithographing did the printing. The first 35 books had blue bindings and included dust jackets. After that, the dust jacket was dropped from the line and the bindings were changed to gold paper with brown swirl design which eventually became gold foil with darker swirl designs. Later foil colors were silver, red or black with various designs. Also some became Mickey Mouse Club editions or Holiday issues. In 1958, Western Publishing and Lithographing and Pocket Books Inc. became joint publishers. The company name was changed to Golden Press, Inc.

The price of the early books was 25 cents. In 1962, the price was increased to 29 cents, 39 cents in 1968, 49 cents in 1974, 59 cents in 1977, 69 cents in 1979, 89 cents in 1982 and 99 cents in 1986.
