Subject: Oldest Balloon Book Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 18:31:35 -0600 From: "Ralph Dewey" I was wondering when the first balloon book was published. I have several old books in my collection. Does anyone have a book printed earlier than 1958? I have "TV's Original Balloonatic" by Dwight Damon published in 1958. I also have "Fun with Balloons" by Van Dyke. It has a date of 1959 on it and published by Abbott Magic Publications. I also have a handful of other old balloon books, but they don't have a date on them so I can't tell when they were published.
