Re: Favorite books

Actually you can order Thornton Burgess books from Amazon. I checked. Also,
this afternoon out of nowhere the name Bobbs-Merrill came to me and then I
checked my e-mail and saw others suggesting that was the series of little
orange books I loved. Yes, the series was called Childhood of Famous Americans
and now has been updated. I have some in my library (slipped my mind). Somehow
they are not the same without those wonderful orange covers. My favorite was
John Paul Jones. Don't Give Up the Ship!
