Who wrote it: Air in Fact and Fancy is a children's science book by Alfred Slote, illustrated by Dan Dickas and published by World Publishing Company in 1968.

What it's about: The book explores the science of air, from atmosphere and weather to flight and sound, in the engaging, accessible style that made mid-century children's science books so enduring.

Special features: Dan Dickas's illustrations appear throughout, combining diagrams with lively drawings in the best tradition of mid-century science illustration.

Why I like it: Mid-century children's nonfiction books, especially science books, are a treasure trove of accessible, engaging information about all kinds of topics. This book is a great example of that, and it has wonderful illustrations too.

Condition: Red cloth hardcover with gold embossed cover design; no dust jacket. Former library copy with stamps and markings inside. Please review all photos carefully, and email me with any questions.

Thanks so much for visiting, ❤️ Jess
