1970 Redbook with a GREEN cover

BUFFNIXX

I was at a flea market in central PA and I came across a 1970 Redbook with a GREEN cover. Never saw a redbook with anything other than a red cover. The front cover was completely blank while the spine was labeled "A Guide Book of United States Coins -- Yeoman -- 1970".
And on the inside on the very first page there is a stamp that says "Wehman Bros. Publishers 158 Main Street Hackensack N.J." And it was a library copy book as there are places in the first two pages where iibrary cards were removed. The book is stamped "Penn High School Library" on the bottom of the book. Anyone ever see another? It maybe rare.

Hmmm. Almost sounds like the book was rebound. Which makes no sense since it would have been cheaper to just buy another.

Rebound. This is common practice with some libraries.

You may be right about it being rebound but it sure does not look like it, still a mystery to me. Thanks for all the input.

Rebound after Timmy Susie was etched into the cover

Had to toss out some of mine from the 70s because the pages were falling out.
Don't think the original bindings would have lasted long in a library.

Can you post a couple photos?

The ones with green bindings were rebound by the library.

I have one from 1965, blue cover with a pattern on the front & back covers.

I showed it to Ken Bressett who stated that it was commonly done back in the 1960's.

Mine has a stamp: Hamburg Area School Library
