Garage Sale find:
Four volumes from the “Moody Youth Library.” What a great name. They appear to be vaguely Hardy Boys-ian, (Titles include ‘Scotty and the Mysterious Message,’ ‘The Case of the Dancing Fire,’ etc.), though my brief googling has revealed some christian edu-tainment connotations, so maybe they were the churchgoing Hardy Boys.
That said, if I were starting a bad emo record label, it would totally be called ‘Moody Youth Records.’
I bet they come out of the Moody Bible Institute. That is a great logo though! Should be a ska record label.
Yep, Jake is right, those books are Moody Bible Institute productions. They still create them I believe. I was just in Chicago visiting a friend (a campus minister at University of Illinois Chicago) and happened to wander through Moody’s library. There’s tons of those kinds of “Moody” books from mysteries to children’s stories and other fiction.
Nice find. I found you through Bob Nanna’s blog. Love the insane packaging stuff.
