Hello fellow book rescuer! I hit up all local estate sales and buy any book pre- 1960 era. Especially school primers, Boy Scout handbooks, Folktales, children’s stories etc. Proud owner of “If I ran the Zoo” and the recently banned mulberry street, knowing full well this day would come when I bought them for $1 a piece.
Start collecting books before everything other than the communist manifesto is banned.
Dictionaries pre 1960
1956 set of Junior Classics
Collections of Western Myths and Legends
Western folk tales
And American Historical works pre-1950
