McKay published the same Peck
titles that Stanton and Van Vliet Company and the John R. Stanton
Company had printed previously. The earliest listings for these McKay
Peck books that I have seen are in 1929 catalogues.
The format of McKay's combination Peck's Bad Boy and His Pa is
different from the previous versions.
This book includes the same three title as the other similar
combination books: Peck's Bad Boy, No. 1, Peck's Bad Boy, No.2 and
Peck's Sunshine. The book is 8. 25 x 5.75.
There is a full cover appliqué on the cover that matches the picture of
the dust jacket.
McKay's Peck Series of four titles actually used the Stanton and Van
Vliet Company dust jackets. As can be seen below the Stanton and Van
Vliet
name is on the base of the spine and on the ads on the back of the
jacket. The book cover is slightly different from the Stanton and Van
Vliet books however and McKay is at the base of the spine.
McKay did not print any Peck books in wraps.
