Soft cover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Illustrated in red & blue by Vera Stone Norman (illustrator). Ex-school library showing "Department of Public Instruction / Nevada County / State of California / North Blloomfield Dist. Library" rubber-stamps to blank verso of both endpapers, one with the hand-written notation "Prior to Sept. 1935." Copyright 1929 but possibly as late as 1931. Some staining to rear wrap. As there is no blank rear endpaper, it's likely this was a 64-page booklet and that the final sheet is missing. (If complete, we would grade this copy "good" -- which is to say "not very good; well worn.") Both authors were with the National College of Education, Evanston. The "Toots ran. The cat ran" dumbing-down of the reading curriculum was already well underway, by this point. 62 pp. Reduced from $15.

Lawrence Edmund Spivak was an American publisher and journalist best known for co-founding, producing, and moderating the NBC news program Meet the Press from its inception in 1947 until his retirement in 1975. Spivak originated the show's distinctive format of assembling panels of reporters to interrogate national and international figures on current events, establishing a model for adversarial broadcast interviewing that influenced Sunday talk shows for decades. Prior to television, he built a career in magazine publishing, rising from business manager to publisher and editor of H.L. Mencken's iconoclastic The American Mercury, where he also initiated American Mercury Books, an early paperback series reprinting classic works.
