Around and About Many Countries No. 16 by Mabel M. Siewers 1939 1st Ed NM + BONUS


Funky Christmas / Everyday Funky

 

These books etc. come from my father-in-law's estate. We have an entire weaving and yarn shop inventory to sell that was filled to the brim.

 

This book was found in a locked glass bookcase in my father-in-law's yarn shop.  This book is in NEAR MINT condition.  The spine is unbroken.  There is no dust jacket.  There are no boards. No marks or highlighting in text.  Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked.  Cover lies flat.  Blue/purple duplicator ink illustrations.  Illustrated, collectible, 1st edition. 

 

This booklet is a lesson plan from 1939 in social studies, world history and/or geography.  It is in NEAR MINT condition, with one page having a rusty paperclip mark on it.  The lesson plans are on duplicator paper.  It comes in the original aged, and slightly stained, but still intact mailing envelope and comes with a bonus of a HUGE, used, with some dings and nicks and a small piece missing (like it was pinned there???), map of the world.  It seems to be around late elementary school to early middle school level.  Please see pictures.


Please NOTE: Old books are heavy books.  Safe shipping may move them into the next postal category.  Sorry!

 

Please NOTE:  We live in Michigan and it is winter.  We have the Lake Effect almost every day – massive cloud cover.  We are doing the best we can with interior lighting for the pictures. 

 

Also, please NOTE:  Almost every book has a smudge somewhere.  We mention it if we see it, but please assume we missed something.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Because eBay is composed of soulless, bloodsucking monsters, and because it is forcing us to use an ISBN number for a book that DOES NOT have an ISBN number, and even when it DOES have an ISBN, still won’t let us use it, so we use one of a random book. Our book is pre-ISBN numbers. The Library of Congress number is N/A. The LOC does not hyphenate when you put the number in to verify. Fake ISBN number is 9781014236289.  Correct ISBN number is non-existent.  We put in whichever one the system will take. Sorry!

 

Note: We are running out of estate books and will be slowly changing over to their other possessions – some serious, some MCM, some just funky, or kitschy.  Others are Depression era.  Some will be brand new items, still in their packaging, and others will be more mainstream books (from one of the Grandma’s) or some of our personal books or collectables, as we are not leaving this mess to our kids.  We hope you will have fun and stay with us. 

 

Shipping – All books are shipped on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday on the first day possible after payment is received around 8 to 9 AM. They are shipped by Media Mail in heavy brown paper, similar to a grocery paper bag.  All wrapping and shipping materials are recycled from the cardboard to bubble wrap to 50 year old envelopes. Our packages are ugly, but are very carefully wrapped to arrive safely.  We always refund shipping credit if you buy multiple items.  Free local pick up.  We refund your shipping charges!
