Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Haldeman-Julius Company], A very good copy in the original publisher's wrappers. As with most of these volumes the wrappers now show fading. There is no chipping or loss and they are still firmly attached by the original staples. There is a prior owners name to the inside of the front wrapper, but otherwise the contents are clean and unmarked.The Little Blue Books were a series of popular 3½ × 5 inch volumes, designed to be affordable, approachable, and convenient for all readers. The enterprise began in 1919 with a series entitled The Appeal's Pocket Series, copies of which sold for 25 cents. As mass-production techniques improved, the series grew, changed names, dropped prices, and eventually emerged as the Little Blue Books in 1923, with copies going for 5 cents a piece. Promoted as a "University in Print," the Little Blue Books covered a vast range of subjects including literature, politics, religion, history, sexuality, economics, self-help, and fine arts. As the popularity of the Little Blue Books grew, so did the scope of material, eventually bringing in to the fold volumes on cooking, stock prices, and contemporary humour, to name but a few. At the time of publisher Emanuel Haldeman-Julius' death on July 31, 1951, the Little Blue Book series boasted an inventory of over 1,800 booklets, and had seen some 2,300 unique titles grace the ranks., Books<
