I recently purchased "The Original Girl's Handy Book" by Lina Beard and Adelia Belle Beard, two of the founders of the Girl Scouts of America, from Hastings bookstore. It was originally published in 1887 and a neat book with great vintage artwork and good old-fashioned activities and information. I bought it after I bought the Daring Book for Girls. I think my daughter will treasure them both when she is old enough (she's not yet 2 - I buy ahead and for me:) ). The publisher is Tess Press. I thought you might be interested.

Thanks for the review and a great site.
