Hi, my name is Dick Schultz and I call myself the Golden Book Guy. I have been selling Golden Books since 1991 when Golden Books asked me to take over their school, library, and mail order business. At that time Golden was in Racine, Wisconsin and was one of the world’s premier publishers of children’s books. But, they were so much more. They owned the Golden Guide nature books, Whitman Coin Supplies, and had lines of videos, book and records, games, jigsaw puzzles, and so much more. I had so much material coming into my warehouse for their mail order business that I decided to open 2 toy stores here in Wisconsin. I added a lot of other toy products but the heart of the stores was the products from Golden Books. I started to specialize in out of print books and had people coming to my stores from all over the country to buy new and old Golden Books. Unfortunately, in the next decade two gentlemen from New York bought the Golden Book company and ended up driving it into bankruptcy. Since most of my business was tied up with Golden Book product I also ended up bankrupt. Since my stores closed I have continued to sell Golden products online through my website- I have over 4,000 books available on the site, which is goldenbookguy.com. Someone advised me to try a blog and talk about these things so that is what I am attempting to do here. I hope to have all kinds of Golden tidbits and stories for you and I am always available for any questions and, hopefully, orders. I am pretty much computer illiterate so I hope this all works out! Thanks for reading and stay tuned.
