Snaps was published weekly by Frank Tousey from 1899 to 1901. Our collection offers 3 of the 72 titles in the series. Each 32 page issue contained humorous stories written by authors with pseudonyms like Peter Pad, Tom Teaser and Sam Smiley. Tousey publishing described SNAPS as “The only weekly series of funny stories published in the world.” The reader is promised a comic: “printed in clear bold type and will be inclosed in a handsome illuminated cover. Each story will be complete in itself, and will be filled with funny incidents and situations from beginning to end.” Many issues of SNAPS  included a list of ten cent hand books on subjects ranging from housekeeping and entertainment to etiquette and society and an invitation to join the Dime Novel Club.

Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping.  I ship next business day after payment is received.

Please note Buyers from outside of the United States are responsible for any and all duties, tariffs or other fees that YOUR country may impose. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient.
