Add to basketCondition: Fine in near fine box. Modern facsimile edition of this collection of the 36 little promotional titles published by the Kansas City-based Faultless Starch Company, first published in 1889, an example of popular literacy tools in early Oklahoma and Texas. From classics such as "The Owl and the Pussycat" to original tit…les like "The Starch Ghosts," the 36-volume FAULTLESS STARCH LIBRARY had something for every young reader. In under-served regions like rural Texas and Oklahoma, these little books - which often incorporated plot points about the importance of using Faultless Starch - were not just delightful freebies for the young, but important literacy tools: "People have written us over the years saying they learned to read" with these books, notes Faultless on their order form for this facsimile edition. This collection was published to commemorate the 1989 Year of the Young Reader and the Oklahoma Land Run Centennial. A delightful recreation of the books that were so important to so many American children. 36 volumes. 5'' x 3''. Original pictorial wrappers, saddle-stapled. Illustrated and printed in single colors: brown, red, orange, blue, green, and pink. Each with 16 pages. With original order form for the facsimiles laid in. In original blue and red cardboard box, in the style of a Faultless Starch box. Box with a bit of bumping to corners. Booklets tight and clean.
