Phillips, Sampson and Company published the first editions of these
eight titles.
The "Sunny Side Series" was first noted as books #1-5 which were
printed in a uniform style. All of these titles went through multiple
printings.
The title page notes the edition based on "thousands". First editions
do not mention a number on the title page. These titles were reprinted
numerous times into the late 1850's.
These books were to be for "mature" readers but ads stated that
juveniles might find them worthwhile.
Cloth. Red and blue noted. Blindstamped with embossed wreath on the
cover (Gilt or plain). Gilt spine lettering and decorations. 6.25”
x 4”.
Plain books cost 50 cents whereas the gilt books cost 75 cents.
