Norman Rockwell vintage book of photo postcards “Bicycle Tour of Stockbridge” First edition 1980 32 removable postcard Sepia Complete
$177.00
This is a "very good" staple bound board book with card stock perforated pages, each with 4 United States Postage acceptable postcards showing views in sepia of Mr. Rockwell's Stockbridge Massachusetts, published in 1980.
First printing. The book is intact, complete with all 32 cards present. No writing. The first and last pages were beginning to separate along the spine edge perf due to the stiff stock and the movement of the book. The perfs of both have been reinforced with PH neutral, archival document repair tape (see images), which is intended for such purposes and will not harm the paper, nearly invisible. Some surface rubbing on glossy board covers, front and back, some edge wear. No jams, tears or creasing. A fairly scarce title these days - likely few were printed, and most of those were disassembled to use the cards. Includes a map in the back cover that shows where each of the photographs was taken along the suggested bicycle route. Please review images for complete details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
