Cash for Clunkers yields 70 year old books!

This fall, Enslow Publishers offered a "Cash for Clunkers" incentive. Librarians would tear out title pages from their old "clunker" books that are actually on their library shelves and send them to Enslow in exchange for an offer on purchased books.

Our National Sales Manager was looking through the clunker title pages, and among them found the oldest ones!

Introducing Charles Dickens by May Lamberton Becker from 1940,
Yea! Wildcats! by John R Tunis from 1944
Damion's Daughter by Edwin Gilbert from 1949
The Immortal Lovers by Frances Winwar from 1950
Understanding Radio by Herbert E Welch from 1951
A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote from 1956

What are the oldest books in your library?
