Up for sale is a lot of 19 Childhood of Famous Americans softcover books.  Please note that all of these books were previously housed in a library and later in a classroom library.  These books have the library call numbers on the binding, library circulation logs in the back, sun-bleached spines, writing on the edge of the pages, but are in generally good condition, otherwise.  The publication years range from 1959 to 1973, with the majority of the titles being published in the early 1960's.
