Description: WELCOME!Up for immediate purchase is a collection and lot of 31 vintage paper back illustrated books, pictorial educational booklets, sponsored by the United Nations, American Geographical Society, and the U.S. Dept of State. Published by Double Day in 1957 when Herbert Hoover Jr. was Head of the U.S. Dept of State and signed in print endorsing the educational program. Each paperback is a different global country with their own unique perspective and geography. is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast. These books cover a wide range of topics and are housed in slipcase boxes for easy storage and organization. The binding of these books is in the form of a brochure or pamphlet, making them perfect for casual reading or reference. The language of the books is in English. This collection is a true gem for anyone interested in educational geography, the history of publishing, U.S Government programs, public political servants, and politicians with Presidental history. Condition is good. I didn't find any rips, folds, bends, tears, personalization, or notes on booklets. A few have a handwritten monthly date and year in ink on right corner of cover.Binders and books have a musty smell, but each binder now has a fabric sheet inserted and will soon change that around to a pleasant odor. No mold, foxing. etc. Most green fabric slipcovers are worn slightly, the slipcover spine is a hard cover, and some need reglued, and have aftermarket labeling. However, slipcase covers/binder did their job well protecting the paperbacks. This is a large estate collection, weighing 10lbs., formerly belonging to a master's degree educator. Probably the most unique attribute of this entire lot is all the original known documentation that originally came with the first month's booklet lot. Documents were saved and are included in a slipcase. A few pics included in listing show some, (not all are pictured) of this rare authenticating documentation. Most of the time it's been thrown away. DAILY FAST, FREE, US SHIPPING!Bid with confidence. We have been in the business since 1988.
