Old Text Books - Part One




The first school reader I can remember was the "Tiny Tot's Primer". It was part of a series of readers published by Whitcomes.

I still have it. I have only been able to find any references to it on sites relating to antique books or libraries. There isn't much around at all.


The design and illustrations are very typical of the 1950's. The readers we had were generally passed down by older siblings, or friends.


I don't recall being wasteful in those days. Consumerism was a word that hadn't come into existence yet.
