Picture Story Book #1 - 1961
One
of the earlites treasury comics ever made, this was
the first issue of a four-issue series entitled Golden
Picture Story Book. Like the other volumes, this
is a very handsome book--nicely illustrated, nice warm
colors, and thick cardboard covers.
This
is an ideal book for children (if it weren't for the
fact that it's very expensive to find in any condition).
It features a whole bunch of HB stars besides ol' Huckleberry--Pixie,
Dixie and Mr.Jinks, Augie Dogie and Doggy Daddy, Snooper
and Blooper, and my personal favorite QuickDraw McGraw!
I
had never even heard of this series until I saw a brief
mention in an article in the Overstreet price
guide. They have them listed as "rare", but
luckily I found them on Ebay in a short time. I'm glad
I made that discovery, since not only are these some
of the earliest treasury comics ever made, but they
are very nice books in their own right!
52
pages.

Picture Story Book #2 - 1961
Like

First
off--the cover. It's just gorgeous. So simple, so colorful,
full of verve and life. Not only are the drawings nice,
but the design is excellent. In addition to Yogi, this
book, like the previous one, features other H-B stars,
like QuickDraw McGraw, Auggie Doggie, Snooper and Blabber,
Snagglepuss, and Yakky Doodle.
Interestingly,
it also features two pages of Yogi Bear recipes ("Step
One: Eat Campers. Step Two: Repeat.") like
cheesedogs, applesauce, and grilled cheeses. Rachel
Ray has nothing on Yogi!

Picture Story Book #3 - 1961
Like
the other volumes, this is a very handsome book--nicely
illustrated, nice warm colors, and thick cardboard covers.
This
is an adaptation of the live-action Disney film starring
Annette Funicello (pictured), the only movie adaptation
done for this series of books. Too bad, since it would've
been really fun to see other live-action Disney movies,
like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, done as a
treasury comic.

Picture Story Book #4 - 1961
Like
the other volumes, this is a very handsome book--nicely
illustrated, nice warm colors, and thick cardboard covers.
This
book consists of short Donald Duck and related duck
stories, featuring all the kids favorites--Huey, Duey,
and Louie, Ludwig Von Drake, the Beagle Boys, etc.

Nice
painted cover, too.
