Big Little Books

My dad has a large collection of Big Little Books in his basement. About 7 large boxes filled to the top with Big Little Books in various condition. These were his Big Little Books from when he was a child and as he grew older he placed them in these boxes and there they have sit ever since.

I love going to my dads house and showing them to my kids, that always brings a smile to their face. My dad (now almost 80 years old) always talks about selling them off and I always talk him out of that idea. I think they are more valuable to us as a family heirloom.

The distinctive thing about Big Little Books is their size i.e, their thickness (big) and their dimensions (little). A Big Little Book is the fusion of a novel with comic book in that it's like a simplistic novel with some pictures. Big Little Books generally have a hard cover and are about 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches in size. Big Little Books were produced from 1932 until the present, although the most well known and collectible Big Little Books are the vintage Big Little Books from the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's - which are the years that most of my dads collection is from.

If you are a Big Little Book collector or would like to start a collection, I have created this site for you and you can snoop through all of the eBay auctions that feature Big Little Books. I have searched out and categorized the Big Little Books available for auction for your convenience. The selection of Big Little Books changes by the hour so make sure to check back often.

I have posted some pictures of my dads Big Little Book collection and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed posting them. If you have any questions or just want to say "hi" don't hesitate to send me an email.
