A retro science textbook collection


Samantha here.  This is another one of those projects that the human made and then forgot to photograph for a month.  It does get annoying for us after a while because we like to show off our books.  This time, the human decided to finally make us some more modern textbooks from the 1940s and 1950s, with an emphasis on science.

First up is a set of readers at the second and third grade level, give or take.  There's three 'general' readers and two science/nature readers.




And here's a set of six gorgeous reference books on various science topics.





And finally, a set of astronomy textbooks (just in case Maryellen needs a library).  


Two of the books are school textbooks from the late 1930s on general science, but the human just took excerpts of the astronomy sections.


Saving the best for last, 'Guide to the Planets' by Patrick Moore (look him up) published in 1952, with 24 plates of photos and illustrations.  Also 'A Guide to the Heavens', which has the most detailed maps of the moon and what features of the moon are visible during which phase.
