Some of the Spanish Golden Guides have no Golden Press version. I have listed a few to show the similarities. What baffles me is many of these books mention Western Publishing, the publisher of Golden Guides. But Golden Press never issued a version. One thing worth mentioning- all the titles have 160 pages. Sound familiar? With that said, here are a few titles:
