Description: BOOK IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES BUT MANY MINOR ISSUES. MANY HANDLING CREASES THROUGHOUT AND PRINTED ON CHEAP PAPER. EXTERIOR HAS EDGE WEAR TO BOARDS AND SPINE COVER. CORNERS ARE WORN THROUGH AND CURVED INWARD. SOME EXTERNAL STAINING (PHOTO 1, 2 & 24) COPYRIGHT STATES 1923 (PHOTO 4) BUT INSCRIPTION REFLECTS 1931 (PHOTO 3), SO THAT IS THE RANGE. INTERIOR HAS SIGNIFICANT AGE RELATED PAPER TONING, HANDLING CREASES, ONE SIGNIFICANT CORNER CREASE (PHOTO 11) AND SEVERAL SHORT TEARS ON THE BOTTOMS OF LEAVES THAT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN MOSTLY REPAIRED WITH GLUE AT SOME POINT (PHOTO 12, 15, 21- LOOK AT ALL PHOTOS) . There are a few small nicks that weren't fixed but PAGES ARE INTACT. THE "AUTHOR" WAS A QUACK DOCTOR, SNAKE OIL SALESMAN. THE BOOK IS VERY CONVOLUTED WITH UN-NUMBERED PAGES AND NO REAL TABLE OF CONTENTS TO HELP WITH THE ORGANIZATION OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FEW HUNDRED PAGES. THE REAR OF THE BOOK ADVERTISES ALL OF THE WEIRD GARBAGE THE "AUTHOR" WAS WILLING TO SELL TO PEOPLE SEVERAL ASPECTS OF THIS BOOK MADE IT VERY INTERESTING IN GENERAL: 1- Misspellings on the copyright, which forbids reproduction under "peanalty" of law. (PHOTO 4)2- The assumption that all members of any of the specific zodiac signs pretty much had the same personality eye color, hair color, etc. (PHOTO 9)3- Amongst the countless different topics on everything imaginable, the author was nice enough to provide the Flat Earth Theory. (PHOTO 14) THE SECTION WITH THE MOST WEAR AND TEAR IS THE "DREAM" SECTION. There are many interesting topics, including weather forecasts for the entirety of the 20th Century. Please look at the photos and read the topics as they are but a small taste of what is in the book. THIS IS A FUN BOOK THAT REVEALS A PERIOD OF TIME, MORE RECENTLY THAN MOST OF US WOULD SUSPECT, WHERE PEOPLE WERE LIKELY TO BELIEVE ANYTHING, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN RURAL AREASPLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE A PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. clown
