My yard sale find.

[peyjenk]

Today, in the fair metropolis of Oak Grove, was city-wide yard sale day. It's always a blast... and this time, I found a really great set of Sesame Street books!

It is the "Sesame Street Book Club" series, and I got nine of them:

"Elmo's Alphabet"
"Grover's Book of Cute Little Words"
"I Can Count to Ten and Back Again"
"Everyone Makes Mistakes"
"Early Bird on Sesame Street"
"The Count Counts a Party"
"Monsters, Monsters!"
"Going Up with Grover: A Counting Book"
"Oscar's Silly ABC's and Other Stories"

I have seen and/or owned a few of these in previous editions but these are a really nice "matched" set. The copyright date is 1992, and they appear to be in mint condition (except for "Everyone Makes Mistakes", which has two crayon marks and smudge on the front cover- fitting enough for the title, I suppose).

Anyway, I was really pleased and quite proud of myself and thought I'd share! Does anyone know any information about the Sesame Street Book Club, like how many titles were available, and which ones?

The Sesame Street Book Club was a series of subscription-type book club issued by the Western Publishing Company in the 80s, then reissued by Reader's Digest in the 1990s. See details here: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sesame_Street_Book_Club
