It's a very rare book. Every day we receive emails from people searching for childhood books. I'm sorry but we no longer research emailed book queries. Please read this page carefully and you may find some alternate ways of searching for your book yourself. You can also post your query on the Comment section below. Since I personally moderate Disqus Comments daily, I will see any query you post and will answer if I am familiar with the book. However, there are several contributers to this page who are more knowledgeable about modern books than I am.
Searching for a Book Online: Our Old Children's Books Search: First, it's worth trying our own Advanced Search. Although only about have pictures, almost all contain plot descriptions and Keywords tags. These can be searched using the Description and Keyword field or the simple search on the website.
We are specialist children's booksellers. There are better sources on the net for inquiring about most children's books, especially readers, series, modern, or mass market books. Please try the links below before contacting us:. Loganberry Books Loganberry Books home page. Select "Nostalgia" from the menu. Look through other people's queries and Solved Mysteries; post your own book query. See this Loganberry page for children's storybooks or anthologies: Loganberry Books Anthology Page ,. It's in there somewhere: For best results use only: Title, Author, Date Range, and Keywords.
You will be able to limit your search further once you reach the results page. This is the best book search engine on the net, from a huge Canadian company originally started by booksellers. Millions of books of all kinds from dealers all over the world, some not found in libraries. Most of the English language books ever published: You should limit your search at least to Format: You can do this on the advanced search page or once you arrive at the results, using the left hand column, as with abe.
Often you can find more about the content of a title by going to an individual library holding. Because you won't get as many duplicate titles, Worldcat works better for common titles than Abe or Amazon. Once you have narrowed down a possible title, try Amazon. The colour option on Google is working better and better. It's a real help. I have started using Images on bing. Look in the left hand column to limit your search to these.
A few words can help: If all you can remember is a few words, try Google. Put the words in quotes. Use only one or two, essential, easily-spelled, keywords. Try this sample Google search: Selling One or Two Books. Probably the easiest place for an individual to sell books like those above is on Amazon. Look up your book, click on the picture, then look in the blue box for "Have one to sell?
If, and only if, Amazon has listed the book in the past, will you be able to list also. Ebay is also very easy and inexpensive to use for a few books and it allows you more room to describe the books. For pricing your book, it is easier and more accurate to use the Abebooks. Then double check on Amazon because prices there are sometimes higher. Amazon's Search is really not set up for out of print books. The more care you put into describing your books, the more likely you are to sell them. We do not purchase books online, sight unseen.
Please do not offer them to us. If you have a collection or several rare books you are interested in selling to us, especially if you live in the Northwest, please look on http: Finding and Valuing an Older Book. Our email address is on the Contact Us page. We do not run a formal Book Search and we will not order books for you, but we'll try to point you in the right direction. We never value a book over the net, nor do other reputable booksellers.

It was about a family and Christmas It was my favorite book between I wish I could remember more details to help in the search.
Please let me know if you can identify it. I had a copy of this when I was young, so I'd guess this was published from the mid s to the early 80s. It was hard cover and I remember the book being brown, but this might be because many of the illustrations had a brown or sepia tone. I've looked at Google Images and don't see anything that looks like what I remember.
One story was about a bubble gum machine and another story was about a little monster's birthday That is all I can remember I think the book was yellow?? Im looking for a series of illustrated childrens books possibly from the 60's 70's or 80's. They were written by a man and a woman, i think she wrote the books and he illustrated possibly husband and wife and their picture was always on the back of the books, and they looked a little hippy-ish.
The books were always about mythical creatures, usually had a story about a mother, father, child, one of the books revolved around pegasus', another was dragons, and perhaps unicorns. Looking for info on a book by an Austrailian writer maybe , 's or there about. Only have a basic story.

I read a book a while back about a boy who was obsessed with the idea of going to Georgia to see rockets fly. He had model rockets of all sorts, and always watched rocket tv shows and such. It all took place during the Vietnam War and his father was digging a bomb shelter outside, and his father became obsessed with the project, but something terrible happened. A boy that I think ended up having a mental disability wanted the boy's toy rocket, and he went to get it and the boy fell in the ditch that was going to be used for the shelter and was speared on a cast-iron foundation bar.
The boy's brother was devastated. He later found a stray dog and somehow figured out his brother's soul was in this dog, and the boy tried hitchhiking his way to Georgia to see the rockets. At one point he was taken into custody, and went on the news and eventually made it to Georgia. I also believe at one point the boys before the brother died had a secret hide out in the woods, and also at the end the dog leads the boy to the dead brother's toy in the mentally disabled boy's backyard.
In the early 's I had a soft cover book about 5"x7". The cover was white. It was filled with real photographs of things in the woods like toadstools, ferns, mosses, fungus, leaves. The book described how fairies, or pixies, used these things every day. Please help me find it if you can. It had a story for every day and the stories were like tales about elfs, witches and ravens.

I remember she looked in the mirror and I think she fell out of the tree and broke her arm. I don't remember the title or the author.
