The intent of this blog is to highlight areas of the book collecting world that are of interest to me. Henry Altemus Books, the authors- Wayne Whipple, George Peck (and his "Bad Boy"), Hezekiah Butterworth, Jacob Abbott- juvenile series books of the 19th and 20th centuries and book/publisher ephemera. I hope there is something for all collectors here.

Unknown Book-Can you identify it??
I thought I would occasionally give the one or two people who read this blog a challenge. Can you identify this book?
Here is the hint. It is a series book. Ok maybe not much of a hint but I think a clever (very clever) person can figure it out.
Great challenge! I believe this is one of the Rockspur Athletic Series by Gilbert Patten. I will not be surprised if this is wrong, but it was fun trying to figure it out.
It helped when I viewed the image at full size, noted the "G H" on the fence post, and decided it must stand for George Harper who illustrated "Deering of Deal".
Interesting. I haven't seen that cover before. I'm sure my guess is wrong, but I'll say Garry Grayson.

ReplyDeleteOn second thought, this might be "Deering of Deal" by Latta Griswold; number 1 of the Deering Deal series published by Macmillan.
