visit from the Bookmobile?
Even more exciting than the ice cream truck circling our block every summer afternoon was the Bookmobile arriving once every other week! I loved to enter the air - conditioned van, peruse all the choices, and check out Little Women. The illustrated version that was my favorite in 1968 is still a vived memory.
Searching google images, I was disappointed not to come across an exact match for the book jacket that I remember so well. This 1960 abridged paperback is not exactly right but the closest I could find. My Bookmobile version was a big fat hardback with a laminated chartreuse cover. However, it had this same floral oval cameo motif; so I'm guessing it might have been the hardback companion to this paperback:
