THE YEAR 2007 marks the 65th anniversary of a bold experiment: the launch of the Little Golden Books during the dark days of World War II. At a time when the literacy rate was not nearly as high as it is now - and privation was felt by nearly all - quality books for children would now be available at a price nearly everyone could afford (25 cents), and sold where ordinary people shopped. Golden Legacy is a lively history of a company, a line of books, the groundbreaking writers and artists who created them, the clever mavericks who marketed and sold them, and the cultural landscape that surrounded them.

Golden Legacy: How Golden Books Won Children's Hearts, Changed Publishing Forever, and Became an American Icon Along the Way
I admit that I gave up reading at one point and just looked at all the pictures. These were pictures from books at my grandmother's house, of books always on the shelf at home. Fresh-faced, apple-cheeked children, colorful, smiling animals...a good journey back in time.
The story is an interesting look at the publishing industry - how it has changed, and how it continues to change, especially with the introduction of new technology.
I wonder if there will be favorite picture books that children only experience in electronic form. I have managed to integrate the electronic media format into my life, but I am still most in love with the pictures I see in physical books.
