U.S. Landmark Books, 1950-1956: An analysis and evaluationUnknown Date (has links)
"In order to determine if the publishers have succeeded in their stated aims and objectives in publishing the Landmark series, a study will be made, first, of the features of those books released between 1950-1956, inclusive; second, of their authorship; third, of evidences of their success. In adjudging the books, first, an analysis will be made to determine the extent of their coverage of the primary periods in American history. Second, consideration will be given to the form of presentation of the material by considering the books according to where each would fit into the conventional library classification system. Third, an analysis of the reading and interest levels of the books will be made to determine if they are considered by other authorities as suitable for elementary and junior high. Fourth, the format will be studied and evaluated according to the criteria set up by Miss Larrick and the claims of the publishers with some consideration of the illustrations and of such splendid features as indexes and bibliographies"--Introduction. / "August, 1957." / At the head of title: Florida State University. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Robert Clapp, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 68-70).

A study of the First book seriesUnknown Date (has links)
The First Book of Airplanes, published in 1944 under the title The First Book of Flying and since revised three times, is the initial book issued by Franklin Watts, Inc., as a part of the prolific 'First Book Series.' Since that time, 99 more titles have been issued, bringing the total to 100. Although the publisher indicated 100 as the official number of books in the series as of May 15, 1959, this writer actually located 108 books published by Franklin Watts, Inc., with the title The First Book of ---. However, since the publisher includes only 100 titles in the series, the list of 99 titles in the Franklin Watts, Inc. catalog of books for spring and summer 1959 and 1 title listed in the Franklin Watts catalog in the Publishers' Trade List Annual and not included in the other list were chosen as the group of books to be discussed in this paper. The purpose of this extensive series is 'to create a group of individual non-fiction titles which would give a child both information and understanding on a subject when he first becomes interested in it.' The present writer intends to examine thoroughly the 'First Book Series' in terms of the claims made by the publisher and to determine by examination of a selected number of individual titles and analysis of reviewers' reactions the extent to which these claims are justified. / Typescript. / "August, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Louise Galloway, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 57-64).

World landmark books, 1953-1958: An analysis and evaluationUnknown Date (has links)
"This study has been undertaken to determine if the World Landmark Books are of the high quality claimed by the publishing house and if therefore they are worthy of inclusion in the libraries serving the twelve-to-fourteen-year-old groups. Since it is planned as a companion study to U. S. Landmarks, An Analysis and Evaluation, a paper done in 1957 by Mrs. Ethel Mestayer Huff, the same general outline and procedure will be followed. This will make possible the comparison and future unification of these two studies, should it seem desirable"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Agnes Gregory, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 57-59).

A study of the Winston adventure books seriesUnknown Date (has links)
This paper is a study of a series of books known as the Winston Adventure Books, published by the John C. Winston Company. Each of these books, recommended by the publishers for children ten years of age or older, is based on little-known incidents in the life of an unsung hero who helped shape history. The editors of the series have planned these books to deal with events and personalities not adequately described in history. The various books in the series cover civilization from 1300 to World War II in 1942. This series is of sufficient importance to justify a study to determine the content and quality of the individual volumes in the series and their acceptance by professional librarians and reviewers. The characteristics of the series as a whole will be analyzed. Such a paper may prove to be useful to those interested in the study of children's and young people's literature and a valuable bibliographic source for a librarian interested in identifying books appropriate for slow or reluctant readers in high schools and in becoming familiar with books potentially valuable for supplementary reading in the social studies. / Typescript. / "January, 1960." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Sara Krentzman Srygley, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-108).
