The Reading For Interest readers published by D.C. Heath and Company in the 1940s and 1950s are of a uniformly high quality - the interesting and unusual stories and poetry chosen by Barbara Nolen is exemplary, the illustrations by Harve Stein and others are simply terrific, the paper is a smooth cream bond, the margins are wide. Of the many elementary literature collections I've seen in almost twenty years of homeschooling, these are my favorite readers, by far. ( )
