Highlights Magazine HARDCOVER Aug.-Sept. 1979 (Volume 34, Issue Number 7) RARE!

Description: It is HIGHLY likely that this rare version is the ONLY example you will find for sale on eBay at the present time! Don't let it get away....who knows when you'll find another? Here's a very hard-to-find HARDCOVER version of Highlights Magazine August & September, 1979. Volume 34, NO. 7. Magazine Name: Highlights For Children Highlights for Children (referred to as simply Highlights) is an American children's magazine. It began publication in June 1946, started by Garry Cleveland Myers and his wife Caroline Clark Myers in Honesdale, Pennsylvania (the present location of its editorial office). They both worked for another children's magazine, Children's Activities, for 12 years before leaving to start Highlights. The company is presently based in Columbus, Ohio, and owns book publishers Zaner-Bloser, Stenhouse Publishers, and Boyds Mills Press. Highlights has surpassed a billion copies in print. Month/Publication Year: June/July-1979. Subject: Education for children Condition: The inside is in Excellent Condition. Minor shelf wear on cover. Numerically I'd rate it a 9 out of 10. The hardcover editions are EXTREMELY scarce as the majority were printed in the typical softcover version that we are all so familiar with. Language: English 51 pages. Not long ago I was in either a dentist office or at the chiropractor and I happened to pick up a current copy of Highlights for Children and it just wasn't how I remembered it when I read them as a child. When I came across a group of the older ones for sale at an estate auction recently I snapped them up and yup, these are the ones that have all the cool stuff I loved to read as a kid. Who DOESN'T remember "Sammy Spivens," "Find the Pictures," "Hidden Pictures," "Goofus & Gallant," "The Bear Family," the riddles, quiz's, jokes, great stories of all types & subjects, biographies of famous people, "brain work" and of course my personal favorite, "The Timbertoes?" The issues are packed with so much stuff and a lot of the stories are still very readable today, even as an adult! So here they are, offered for your enjoyment, a number of extremely interesting magazines from the 1950's, 60's & early 1970's sure to entertain, inform & possibly intrigue you for just a few dollars each. Whether you're feeling nostalgic yourself or for a gift of some kind for someone, (I've sold many of the softcover ones so far as birthday presents) these are truly pieces of Americana history that are rapidly disappearing with the past so hopefully someone will now become the next custodian of these unique glimpses into America 40-70 years ago! While SOME of the covers DO show a little bit of their age with some minor shelf wear, the inside pages of these old magazines are in GREAT condition and overall they are in surprisingly solid shape. Many of them look almost like new with just minimal yellowing at the very edges while others are just pristine! Ready for a trip back in time?
