<p>[QUOTE="2manycats, post: 3296340, member: 13761"]Donohue was what we call a "cheap reprinter" - they mostly published public domain - out of copyright - titles, classic literature, and reprints of other publishers' children's books, often of cheaper materials or with fewer illustrations. They did a lot of series with matching covers, one of which was the Adelphi Library, as Roaring20s shows, but another having that 'Dan'l Boone' cover art. Here's a copy of Cooper's The Spy in the same cover: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/toomany-spy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://tinyurl.com/toomany-spy" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/toomany-spy</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Since the works were not under copyright, there was no need to include a date.
