Original Series Endsheets
   
         
   

Click for larger image Orange endsheets were used from the early 1930s to the late 1950s. (Before that, the endsheets were plain white.)
Click for larger image Brown multi-scene endsheets were introduced in the late 1950s.
Click for larger image White multi-scene endsheets, containing the same scenes as the brown endsheets, were introduced on new books from the early 1960s on. Reprints of pre-1960s editions kept the brown endsheets until revised editions were released.
Click for larger image Oval portrait endsheets were introduced in 1979.

With the introduction of the laminated plastic "flashlight" cover in 1987, Grosset & Dunlap came full circle, using plain white endsheets once again.
