~ Children's pop-up Book~ 2 stories in 1 book
• a delightful pop up printed in Czechoslovakia through Bancroft & Co publishing, 1961
• Measures : 10 and 1/2 by 8 and 1/2 inches , with 8 pop up scene animations - most scenes are complete and functional, please see condition below-
Condition notes;
◦ Book is in overall acceptable to good condition for it's age, wear to the cover corners or edges. I am selling several pop up books which are in general disrepair. They have intermittent issues like missing pieces, tears, semi functional pull tabs etc. So expect to see cosmetic damage. Particularly the cover image of 3 bears is semi functional and scuffed and the first animation of 3 pigs in not movable - this is the brunt of the damage in this book. My asking price is reflective of this consideration.
◦ The animated popups in particular may have small (mended or not) tears, creasing, but still functional unless otherwise noted. Overall most are functional.
◦ The binding is secured. Outer spine repair may be evident.

MY MISSION: I work very hard as a stay at home mother of two but I don't sell vintage children's books just for the profit, I do it because I love and cherish them. We live in a generation that has lost respect for books and the love of reading them with all of the high tech gadgets around today. My goal is to teach my children the importance and history of books and hopefully respect them as I do one day. Too many sellers out there want perfect collectors items and will discard books for minor cosmetic flaws and damage. This is more than disappointing to me and I make it a point to repurpose and mend damage to recirculate classic and beloved books back into the world because they are in affect becoming ever so scarce. Beloved children's books that people lived in their yesteryear are vanishing and my mission is to bring your favorite pastime stories back to you. Perfection should not be a do or die mission just because there is a tear one inch long on a page. The integrity of these stories are TIMELESS, if it can be fixed, it will survive countless additional years and hopefully inspire a new generation of storybook lovers! Thank you for helping me attain this goal! If you have questions or are looking for a particular title please message me privately for I have a massive stock of diverse children's books not listed for sale and would be happy to help you find what you are looking for!
