Here's another stumper. I have a patron who is looking for an old children's
series that's about a set of twin sisters (NOT Bobbsey Twins, but same time
period). The stories tell about the girls growing up and eventually going to
college (NOT Sweet Valley High). Two guys were in the series and their names
were Scott and Bruce. We don't know the names of the girls.

does anyone know this series?

Could it be the "Dana Girls" series by "Carolyn Keene"? I read years ago
and remember that they were sisters and were either in college or lived at
a boarding school. I don't remember if they were twins.

There was also a series written in the 50s or 60s about twin sisters named
Pam and Penny that starts when they are in high school and continues through
college. The father was gone and the mother worked. In one of the books, the
twins set up a dating service for the Senior Prom. IIRC, the more
"sophisticated" (I'm going to marry a rich man) sister ends up engaged to an
agricultural student in the last book. Can't remember the titles or the
authors name, though. Does this ring a bell with anyone else?

This is a series by Rosamond du Jardin, well, not really a series but four
books that dealt with Pam and Penny who were twins. The first is "Double
Feature", next is "Double Feature" (or maybe visa versa), then "Showboat
Summer" and then "Double Wedding". However, the boys they have as
boyfriends and eventually husbands are Jeff and Mike. I read these books
when I was in junior high and they are very collectible now.

According to Bibliofind, there are 4 Penny and Pam stories. the author is
Rosamund du Jardin. (That name brought back memories of my childhood
reading!) The books began with Double Date (1951 or 1952), Double Feature
(1953). Showboat Summer (1955) was billed as the last book until the author
came out with Double Wedding (1959) which really WAS the last book in the
series (wedding bells rang after suitable complications). Not knowing the
author, I used "Penny and Pam" as the search key.

Janet Lambert wrote about Penny Parish--who didn't have a twin--but a
younger sister Tippy--and whose best friend, Carrol Houghton, married
Penny's brother David. Can you tell I'm just a trifle obsessed (as well as
being a collector of the books)? ;-)

I don't know it, but if your client would recognize list of the series
if s/he saw it, you might ILL a copy of the following (we have one
circulating copy that's currently in as well as our reference copy):

---------------------------------------------------------------
University of Minnesota. Children's Literature Research

x, 347 p. ; 29 cm.

ary of Congress (Use s=):

Girls--Books and reading.


which details several hundred girls' book serieses, but with minimal
details (name, author, real name of author in case of pseudonyms,
titles and dates of all volumes in series, sometimes a brief note).
There's no way to search by "twins" or by names of minor characters,
though, so one would need to scan the 260 pages of listings (book
also contains indexes by author, publisher, decades of publication).

The Bobbsey Twins books began in 1904 and were still going as of a
few years ago, so "same period" doesn't narrow things down much...

Gayle Richardson's posting about the reprinted Janet Lambert books made me think about the various small presses and print-on-demand services that seem to be popping up. Have any of the Fiction-Lers made use of such services to acquire previously out-of-print classics, genre fiction, etc.? If so, what was your experience?

I'm particularly curious about Wildside Press, which is apparently planning to offer print-on-demand editions of four of James Branch Cabell's Poictesme books, and Stealth Press, whose catalog lists titles by Robert Heinlein, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, et al, which have dropped out of print with major publishers. However I would be curious about any Fiction-L'ers' experiences with such presses.

I have ordered from Xlibris which lists itself as POD. First of all, I
couldn't get anybody besides the receptionist to talk to me (the order
department didn't answer the phone or have a voice mail system). Second, I
ordered the book in the middle of January and now it is almost the end of
March and the book is still not here. I have read that Xlibris has laid off
workers, so I don't know what it going on, but that is my experience with
POD publishers, for what it's worth.

I've just ordered 6 titles from Stealth for our library system - mostly
horror and vampire selections. http://www.stealthpress.com/
I can let you know how soon we get them, what they look like, etc.
