About Ms. Kathy the Librarian and Her Book House
This is a compilation/distillation of several work-related blogs. These blogs, most of which were linked to my Blogger blog, My Book House (http://mybookhouse.blogspot.com ), were condensed here in June 2008.
I am a children’s librarian and biblio-geek employed by the Charleston County Public Library in Charleston, South Carolina.

I am interested in seeing a picture of the”My Book House” bookcase. This was a small house-shaped bookcase (complete with chimney) which held the complete set of My Book House books at my grandma’s house when I was little. It was painted with windows and other details and said My Book House on it and, I believe, it came with the books in it. Can you give me any more details and/or find a picture of it for me?

I found a photo of the bookcase M. Lynn refers to on flickr.

I have a 1932 set (I’ve replaced the first two volumes, which I read to death as a child) along with the Holland, Japan and France books. My grandfather purchased them for his eldest daughter, probably from a traveling salesman, and they’ve been passed down to me. They’ve always been on a bookcase, but not the lovely original house pictured above: this shelf is a standard shape, with cover art appliques on either end. It’s large enough to hold the 12-volume 1932 set, the three international books, and possibly one more volume. My questions are: has anyone ever seen this case? And was there ever a Parent’s Guide with the 1932 set?
Thanks!
