Some of the McGuffy readers have been reproduced for "today's generation."
You can purchase some of these from websites like:
http://www.hstreasures.com/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0471288896/104-0117620-7506346?v=glance
You might also check on eBay, if you'd like to have one but are willing to
"haggle online" for a copy.
In addition, depending upon where you are living, you can often find some
"newer editions"-- around the late 1800's-- at antique stores, book stores,
craft shops (those with antiques and collectible books), and garage sales.
I have collected some (for around $10 - $20 a piece) that are the later
editions. I've also passed up some just because I don't have more space to
keep them.
Let me browse through some of mine and I'll send you some excerpts from
them.
