The New Our New Friends Dick & Jane 1951 Dark Pony / Sleepy Town by William S Gray; A Sterl Artley; May Hill Arbuthnot; Keith Ward [Illustrator]; Evelyn Copelman [Illustrator]; - 1951

Scott Foresman and Co, 1953. Hardcover. Like New. 9x6x1. Books are truly in Like New condition as these books appear not to have even been opened before I did it. This 66 year old book is a collectible as it is the Seventh-Day Adventist Edition. It is exactly the same at the regular "The New Our New Friends" Edition from the public schools except for the last 30 pages or so, which are a new section titled "Our Church Friends". So the first four sections in the book are exactly like the public school edition and just the last section is different. Hardback Reader of 192 pages has a tight binding and clean crisp pages. No school marks or writing! Again, a great collectible and a must have for your Dick and Jane collection! Outside cloth covers are very nice! What a great find

Chicago: Scott Foresman, 1951. Hard cover. Keith Ward, Evelyn Sopelman, Walter Ohlson and Eleanor Campbell. Very good. No dust jacket as issued.
