Anyone interested in a bunch, a little over two hundred, of these little jewels? They range from poor condition to very good and the subjects are all over the spectrum. Would love to trade them for something useful, like maybe a pen or so? If interested PM and I can email a complete listing. Tberry

The only thing that strikes my mind when one says "little Blue Books" is those little ten page, or so, pamplets we had to write our mid term and final examinations in back at college. I think I paid a nickle, and later a dime for them, ohhhhh so longggggggggggg ago. :-)

Petra: No excuse necesary: Little Blue Books are a series of books published from the early or mid 1920's up until sometime in the mid 1950's-I think. Information is avaialable on Wiki and other sites. The LBB's were printed in a size thaat would allow them to be easily arried in the back pocket of hte standard men's trousers of the day, and it seems the purpose was to make education readily available to anyone who wanted to learn. The topics range from history algebra to zoology. Depending on the source, there were about 1800 titles! I suggest gooling the theme and checking the info. If you want a list of what I have, email Tberry010@yahoo.com. Thanks for the interest. Tberry

Hi Kathryn: I do have a list, but since it runs to about twelve pages I think it best to email, which I will do if you send me your address. You can either PM the address or send to Tberry010@yahoo.com. Thanks for the interest, Tberry

Yes , I remember thaose also, and I usually did not do well because while I might have been able to write the correct answers, my penmanship was so bad the instructors couldn't read it!!! Tberry
