AMERICA'S BAD MEN: STORIES OF FAMOUS OUTLAWS, written by Pat McCarthy, edited by Thomas Mooney, illustrated by Harry Wallengren, softcover, illustrated with drawings and photographs, 1974. BOOK CONDITION: fair. The text block and illustrations are in very good condition with no tears, dog ears, or marks. Pages are age-toned and rippled in some places. There is a small tear on the fore-edge of the title page as well as a book price stamped on it. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. The used bookstore stamped information about their business (Trade 2 for 1) inside the front cover, but much of that has faded. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The wraps are intact but creased, worn, and discolored in places. 7 x 4, 96 pages, 6 ounces. XX During the decade of the 1970s the Xerox Corporation evidently got into the education business, reportedly publishing some 127 books for children and juvenile readers. According to Open Library they covered such subjects as "Juvenile literature, Juvenile fiction, Biography, History, Ghosts, Short stories, Adventure and adventurers, Animals, Children, Conduct of life, Ghost stories, Mystery and detective stories, Children's encyclopedias and dictionaries, Children's fiction, Children's stories, Dogs, Encyclopedias and dictionaries, Friendship, Study and teaching." AMERICA'S BAD MEN must surely have been one of the stranger titles, written at what I would consider about a 4th grade reading level. The bad "men"? Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickok, Lizzie Borden, Bonnie and Clyde Machine Gun Kelly, and John Dillinger.…
