The Magic Spectacles 1989: An Engagement Calendar

La Jolla, California: Green Tiger Press, 1989. Softbound. Plastic Spiral binding on printed card covers. VG. Item #35670

From the preface of another year's edition:"Before we published., we collected. We built a library of old children's books because we enjoyed the world they evoke. Especially we loved to study their oddly beautiful pictures. A publishing company grew out of this passion. We found that many people shared our enthusiasm. Our library continues to grow. Almost every day we add new books. We buy from dealers all over the world, and our customers write us frequently with leads and offer to lend or sell their treasures. It is housed in an old house (not open to the public) and we spend hours with the books, sorting, discovering, cataloging. In the spring of each year, Cooper Edens, Welleran Poltarnees and Alexandra Day encamp in our library to develop a Green Tiger Calendar. First they conceive the themes which it revolves around, and then thumb thousands of volumes looking for the right images." A real cocophony of color and bw plates from their books, a real delight to leaf through.
