I know the 1st SS album released in 1970 but does anyone know when the very 1st SS book was published and what was it.

Interestingly I was just posting about the jazzy spies/ race car number counting skits yesterday and remarked about how someone said in one of the threads that ebay sometimes has a book from 1970 "The Sesame Street book of numbers" that has illustrations of every one of these skits. Now I'm not sure offhandedly if that was the first book, but seeing as how SS debuted in the fall of 1969 it seems like a good possibility.

Check out this article from toughpigs.
It includes this sentence: "Before Sesame Street ever debuted on the air, CTW signed a contract with Time-Life Inc for the production of five "authorized" hard-cover volumes -- the Sesame Street Books of Numbers, Letters, Puzzles, Shapes, People and Things."
