Camilla Gryski anyone?

Do we still have those old red and blue Camilla Gryski string figure books (Cat's Cradle: Owl's Eyes and Many Stars and More String Games)? In light of recent events I am trying to procure a copy of these for myself, (though they are out of print there are a considerable number of them floating around the internet), but being the sentimental girl I am I would love to find the old red/blue editions. Could someone tell me what year that version was published, or any other info so I can pick my copies accordingly? Thanks everyone!

P.S.- Again, any pictures of me doing library-ish things that you come across in your journeys at WPL that could be sent to me would be so greatly appreciated!

Hi, Sarah! I'm looking at three of the four Gryski books that we own: "Favorite String Games" and "Cat's Cradle" are both published by Kids Can Press and copyright 1995; the hardback red book, "Cat's Cradle, Owl's Eyes: A Book of String Games" was first published in 1983 by Kids Can, but our copy is from 1984, published by William Morrow. I'll go hunting for "Many Stars and More String Games", but I suspect its publication data match "Cat's Cradle"... Good luck!
