Young Adult Appleton, Victor: Tom Swift, Vol 5. v2. 9th Oct 2009

HarryT · 10-09-2009, 10:23 AM

The 5th and final volume in my "Tom Swift" series; this contains books 21-25 in the series, as follows:

21. Tom Swift and His War Tank
22. Tom Swift and His Air Scout
23. Tom Swift and His Undersea Search
24. Tom Swift Among the Fire Fighters
25. Tom Swift and His Electric Locomotive

The series contains 40 books in total, but books 26-40 are still in copyright, at least in the United States.

Hope this series has been enjoyable to someone other than myself. I love reading this "turn of the 20th century" juvenile literature - it's a view of a simpler and more "innocent" world that's now gone forever. I collect these books and have this whole series in printed form.

Please see the description of Vol 1 for more information about the "Tom Swift" series.

I'll be posting more of these old "juvenile" books in the future; hope that doesn't upset anyone too much. I find it a refreshing break from the "heavy" stuff - Dickens, etc.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much for these. I used to read these when visiting my grandmother many years ago and additional thanks for the Burroughs too.

My dad (born 1917) read the Tom Swift books when he was a boy, and he often spoke fondly of them. They were long out of print by the time I was born.
