"These
twelve books comprise the Educator Classic Library. They are, for the most
part, complete and unabridged, illustrated, and supplied with helpful
annotations in the margins for young readers. Although Classic Press,
Incorporated produced many more volumes in this format, these are the only ones
numbered and identified as in the series Educator Classic Library. Not only are
all of these classic books and in the public domain, they have also all had
some sort of movie treatment, which I suspect had something to do with their
inclusion in the series. Whatever the case, they are all good books, and handy
for young learners. The volume we had when we were kids was 20,000 Leagues
Under the Sea, and that contributed to my older brother Mike's
burgeoning ichthyology craze." - Power of Babel. I think I gave these to John?
