DJ for First Edition B-30 to B-34
Beginner Book Dust Jacket Back 'L' lists 33 of the 34 books that were being published im 1963 for the Beginner Book franchise. Somewhat odd that the first edition B-34 Bennett Cerf's Book of Animal Riddles - which uses this back DJ configuration - is omitted from the listed titles.
While this DJ back is found on the first editions of B-30 to B-34, it was used by Random House during most of 1963 for the publication of the reprints of the earlier Beginner Books.
