More Jungle Book, Disneyland Records 338. 1969. The further adventure of Baloo and Mowgli. With Phil Harris the voice of Baloo the Bear! This is not mine, it was seen at a friends house. The size of a 45, but plays at 33 1/3 r.p.m.
The Little Golden Book Read Along Collection from Disneyland Records
This Little Golden Book Read Along Collection belongs to a friend. This is a set of 45 r.p.m. records that are audiobooks. There’s The Large and Growly Bear; Tawny Scrawny Lion; Puss In Boots; Seven Little Postmen; There’s No Such Thing as a Dragon; The Poky Little Puppy; The Taxi That Hurried; Noah’s Ark; Tootle; The Little Fat Policeman (can you believe that?); and David and Goliath. A few from the cover of the box that aren’t in the box, The Saggy Baggy Elephant, Scuffy the Tugboat, Rapunzel? Chicken Little, and The Little Red Hen. Anyone ID any others? What’s the rabbit? Is that Peter Rabbit?
Charlie Brown and Huck Finn Paperbacks
Hey, Peanuts! by Charles M. Schultz. First copyright is 1950, but this is the 1984 (forty-first!) printing. Fawcett publishers. The old Peanuts cartoon are pretty good. There at the end, the comic wasn’t very funny, but when they started running the old ones in the paper, those were funny.
The best cover I’ve seen for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. And I’ve seen a lot of them. I lived for awhile in Hannibal, MO, Samuel Clemens’ (aka Mark Twain) home town. And, I’m a librarian. Both those facts have given me ample opportunity to see many versions of Mark Twain’s work. This one is a Signet Classic copyright 1959, but this one was published in 1964.
Star Trek Book Log Three
Star Trek Log Three by Alan Dean Foster. Ballantine books, 1975. Cover art supplied by Filmation Associates. This belongs to a friend.
Interior Decorating Week – Day #4
Yes, I know it’s Friday and I’m on day 4, but that’s just the way it is. Today’s selection is Use of Color in Interiors
by Albert O. Halse, McGraw-Hill, 1978. Second edition. this book has lots of color wheels and things like that, but I only scanned the actual pictures of interior decoration. Frankly, I wonder what people were on then, because so much of this is so awful. Just take a look at this ceiling.

I love waiting areas with no backs on the seats. That is just so ideal.
How about some ideas for the office?
Note the telephone on the floor and the wagon wheel on the wall.
This looks like what your Aunt Jane’s house looked like.
Orange was a popular color for libraries. The exact opposite of soothing.
We used to have a chess set like this, except the pieces were white and blue. My parents bought it in Mexico and my brother broke the board many years later. I was going to make a wooden board but never got around to it.
Interior Decorating Week – Day #3
This is my 502nd post. Today’s book is Living for Today by Karen Fisher, 1972. This is by far the most “out there,” artsy, High-Modern, Space-Age books of the week. It is also an odd size, so I couldn’t scan two full pages at once. As with all others, there are many more pictures I didn’t scan, so check out the books at eBay, Half,com, Amazon or wherever you purchase this stuff. This book in particular seemed to cause sensory overload and I had to stop way before the end.
How about a large hot dog on the wall?
I can’t decide if this is my dream bedroom or if it would make me dizzy.
No smoking afterwords please.
As opposed to the no smoking above, this person advertises cigarettes on the wall.
Notice the record player at the foot of this bed on the right and the telephone at the head. You couldn’t use the record player for romantic music, because any motion would cause the record player to skip.
Notice the bathtub on the right. Very interesting.
Look at the size of the TV screen. In fact, that is one amazing theme that runs through all these photos. If there is a television, it is very small.
How about a TV in a glass box? I love the STP sign behind it. And what is that on the wall? Not to be rude, but it looks like a vulva.
This clear plastic blow-up furniture has been in a couple books. That stuff is horrible in the heat or humidity, you stick to it.
