1950's,-60's or 70's and what price would you put on them if in good condition

there are many serious collectors of little golden books  but it is very important that  you take a photo of the back of the book -

 

the little golden books can be dated by their different backs

The "vintage" should only relate to the New York and Sydney editions IMHO as they are more the "start" of

 

the LGB's.

 

The New York editions have the Brown spine and Sydney editions have the four coloured backs.

 

The very early books had a blue spine and dust jackets.

 

They can both get some some good money depending on the quality and whether it's a scarce edition.

 

Books by Eloise Wilkin in these editions will always bring higher prices.

 

There are some other scarce books around.

 

You'll need this so you can state if it's a true first edition: LGB Editions.

Yes love the diaries also missforgetfuls. The new Little Golden Book I like at present, is on the official site Little Golden Books Random House. It is called " Everything I Need To Know I Learned From Little Golden Books". Humorous Guide To Life for Grownups.
