Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Every Boy's Library" collection refers to a series of 73 books that were published starting in 1913 with the official backing of the Boy Scouts of America - the only such series to receive such an honor. From classics such as Call of the Wild and Treasure Island to more obscure titles including Yankee Ships and Yankee Sailors, the series aimed to bring boys of the era the kind of books that they would enjoy. More than one hundred years later, little information has been published on this series. How did the initiative get its start, and who led the curation of the titles? How many editions of each volume were printed, and how many were accompanied by a dust jacket? These questions and many others yield interesting answers, and now available for the first time, the expanded Every Boy's Library Collector's Guide offers insight into the rich, decades-long printing run of these books. This new guide with a detailed history of the series, hundreds of full color images, and the most complete list of editions ever assembled is a must have for all collectors of vintage Every Boy's Library books.
