I remember my dad having those when I was a kid.

My family never got them but once I bought a volume at a used book store for like 25 cents because it contained the abridged edition of Peter Benchley’s “Jaws.” They cut out much, just like the film did, but left in the important parts.

That's why the is having a tilt problem on its axis...at our Book sale for the last 40 years we have been throwing them all away and just recently national geographics...life magazines seem to be holding their own... for some reason adolescent boys tend to purchase them

What with the internet, there is little need for national geographics anymore!

I just grabbed a couple at a thrift store to put in the Guest Room. I remember reading those at my Aunt's when we visited, if I was bored to tears I'd go hide in the Guest Room to read them. Now the kids hide reading their cells and ipads - but I'd like to have something non-electronic as an Option at least and each book has 3 to 4 books in it. I've read so many articles about how not using electronics for x number of minutes before bed time is supposed to promote better sleep. If a Guest wants to take the book with them, that's fine too.
