We are always happy to help a dedicated collector find treasures to add to their collection! Our long-time customer, Kellie Stough of Monroe, Georgia, stopped by last month to shop our Vintage Children's Section for Golden Books.
When this distinctive series of children's books was first published in 1942,
high-quality books for children had not been available at a price most people could afford. Little Golden Books were originally priced at just 25 cents and were sold where people shopped every day, They were an instant success.
Kellie has been collecting Golden Books for ten years and is proud of her collection. She shops at estate sales and vintage bookstores across the country. Her collection is mostly comprised of books from the 1950s and she has collected over 700 so far.

Kellie also shared that she is now collecting titles from the new Little Golden Books Biography series, including books about Dolly Parton, Julie Andrews and Willie Nelson. | | |

But when we are silent, we are still afraid.
So it is better to speak.”
