Marcus, Leonard S. Golden Legacy : The Story of Golden Books, 245 pgs. Penguin Random House, 2007. $40.00. Content: G.
The history of the Golden Book Empire is well documented in this fully illustrated (more pictures than text actually) coffee table book. From its early beginnings as a small printer in Racine Wisconsin, to its huge nation wide presence in more than just inexpensive picture books, this is a thorough story - people, places, and problems all take center stage.
If you remember Golden Books as a child, you will find a lot of book covers full of memories and nostalgia, and some great stories about the authors and illustrators. This is not a children’s book, however, the use of some very advanced vocabulary made it a challenging read.
