Description: The Book of Knowledge, Little Reference Series, The Book of Familiar Things Author: “The material in this book is from the regular twenty-volume edition of The Book of Knowledge.” Illustrator: Photograph on the cover is from Ewing Galloway. Other photographs each have their photographers cited under the photograph. Publisher: Rand McNally & Company, Chicago, 1940. Condition: HC – good. The covers have moderate shelf wear with some paper chipping. Most pages are clean with some light tanning with the paste-downs and end-papers showing some light foxing. I found no marks or tears to the pages. The binding is tight. It has 63 pages and measures about 6 ¾ x 5 ½. The last unpaginated page is a note “To All Boys and Girls”. This is an ad for the other books in this series. Please read my shipping notes and view my photos. Thanks! Notes: "Familiar Things takes you on visits to the great workshops of industry." Shipping: I specialize in vintage and antique children's books, as well as Caldecott and Newberry award children’s books. However, I do sell other items not in this category from time to time. All items will be shipped as economically as possible without jeopardizing the quality of the item. I ship most books by USPS Media Mail unless another method is requested by the buyer. This will usually take 2 to 8 business days to be delivered and comes with a tracking number. However, on rare occasions, there are times when it can take longer. Once your package leaves my hands, I have no control over the USPS. If you have concerns about where your package is, please use your tracking number and contact your local Post Office for help. Before shipping, I wrap all books in plastic or place in an archival plastic sleeve. If the book is less than 1 inch thick, I usually ship in a bubble mailer and the book will be sandwiched between cardboard to protect its edges. If the book is over 1 inch thick, I usually ship in a box. Bubble wrap and other materials will be used to prevent any further bumping or rubbing of the book boards. If the listing is for something other than a book, the same care will be taken to ensure that it arrives to you in its original condition. These items will usually be shipped by USPS First Class or Priority Mail. If you wish to purchase more than one item, I am happy to combine shipping to save you money. Please view the photos I provide to help better evaluate the book. If you have any questions about shipping, the item's condition or the item listing, please email me through eBay before purchasing. At this time, I do not ship international. I am happy to work with you to make your experience a good one. Thanks for looking!
