Six issues bound into a hardback volume
Jan to June 1907
The Scrap Book was a magazine published by Munsey's in the early 20th century, founded to republish interesting stories and articles previously published elsewhere.
It began in 1906. It was issued in two sections between July 1907 and September 1908, after which the second section became The Cavalier, and in 1912, the remaining section of The Scrap Book was also absorbed by The Cavalier.
It's very entertaining, and I guess the Google of its day - full of fascinating titbits of information!
I particularly enjoyed the article on being buried alive 😅
HB, 6 x 9.5 x 3", 940 pages, not illustrated (just a few decorative borders), contains a little advertising
Please click on the scans to see the details of the images, as these form the major part of the description
Do please check out my other items, and also add me to your Saved Sellers List!
I will happily combine shipping
NB - If an item is sold abroad for over £15, I shall require the Buyer to take out International Signed For postage, which means the item is tracked and insured. It costs £7 extra, on top of the normal Airmail charge to their country
AND I'm afraid I will no longer send any item to China unless the postage is International Signed For, due to too many reports of lost mail

Payment
I always get a Proof of Posting certificate, and if an item does get lost in the post I will forward it to you for you to make a claim, since as the Buyer you can claim the full amount of your loss
However, in over 20,000 parcels I've mailed out over the last fifteen years only about a dozen have gone astray, and most of these were overseas
If you're at all worried about losing something, do ask for Recorded Delivery - £1.30 extra in the UK and £7 for overseas
Shipping
Airmail takes between three and five days. The Post Office warns that Surface mail to the USA, Australia, etc, can take as long as 12 weeks, but it is, obviously, a lot cheaper
In practice, American buyers tell me that Surface mail usually takes between 14 and 21 days (and apparently it actually travels by air, filling any space after the official Airmail items are loaded)
