This book is a time capsule from a previous era, with some examples in my collection going back over 220 years old.  The conditions of media of this age can include fading, yellowing, cracking spines, odor, missing pages, loose or missing covers, and much more.  I will try to alert you as to the condition of what I am listing.  Each book I do a brief check of its overall condition, but I cannot promise that something such as missing pages, or clipped photos could escape my glance. Thanks for checking out this old time classic!  


I will be listing hundreds of vintage books, magazines, catalogs, and media in the coming weeks and months.   Keep a look-out for additional listings, and thanks for supporting this cancer survivor and small business!
