Roger, I have been very pleased with the series of children's books
published by Crabtree.  They have sold well, seem to be factually accurate
and appeal to a large number of adults as well.  There is another series of
paper doll booklets published by Dover which a friend of mine stocks and she
is pleased with the response to those.  Best of luck.
