Tony Sarg’s Savings Book “A Trip to Golden City” [1946] First edition Large children’s picture book with spots to insert coins & dollar bill
$43.00
This is a "very good -" children's vintage hardcover , full color book. The spiral binding is intact, with the comb not crushed, some wear at the top and heel of the spine, but the pages are all tightly bound. It appears that not much saving actually occurred with this particular copy, as none of the coin or bill slots show signs of use. Inside the back cover there is a sleeve entitled "My bank book" where the owner could slide their savings book into for safe keeping. This two is "as new". Some edge wear, some tanning on edges, but overall, all of the illustrations are very bright and pleasing.
The matching original jacket has had better days, with two large losses on the front cover along with several smaller ones and the spine is quite worn. Now protected and remediated in a removable archival sleeve. Not perfect, but very few copies of this book are found with a jacket at all. A really interesting piece of childhood Americana! Will ship promptly, carefully packaged, fully insured.

Marguerite 1921 Antique children’s hardcover book in paper wrapped boards, cloth wrapped spine Cloth pictorial paste down on front
$34.00
This is a "good plus" or better antique British printed hardcover, with 29 original woodcuts by Simeon, deckled outer edge, tinted upper edge on block, spine wrapped in tan cloth, boards in brown paper, front board decorated with illustrated cloth plate.
Edition/printing not noted, but if not first, early, because the prefatory letter in the front is dated April 1920 and the title page shows a print year of 1921. This antique book shows some wear, but is solid. No loose, torn, or folded pages. There is a book plate on the front free end paper, other wise no markings. The red tinting on the upper text block edge has bled down in the margins of some pages. Titling on the spine is sunned or faded. Board corners are bumped and worn through to the board. Has some mileage, but still very pleasing! See accompanying images for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
