One More Score
Got this today for $.50 at St. Vinny's and just had to share. A little shy of 6"x9"—6" x 8-3/4"— but I think we can work with that! Just love the illustrations. 60 pages/15 spreads.Originally from 1955 but reprinted in 1973.
Recent Finds
Looking for old papers and books to recycle into art. Here are a few things I found at the Friends Of The Library Bookshop.
A Children's Workbook from 1976 with fun exercises. There were two of them and I snagged
both for $.25 each. Full page size including perf area is 12" x 18."
A 9" x 12" pamphlet on how to make flavored vinegars. Free.
This is a saddle-stitched book called Auricula Meretricula. It's in Latin with a glossary of words with the English translation. Printed on a nice cream laid stock. Simple but elegant type design. It's a little big—7" x 11"—but it was so pretty I had to have it. And it was FREE!
And then I found this beautiful book of Mao Tsetung's poems printed in letterpress. Love the magenta cloth binding!
But then I saw it was a First Edition printed translation from 1976. I don't think it's particularly valuable but it feels it's too special to cut up. Got it for $1.00.
TOTAL: $1.50 for these scores
That's all for now. Keep on hunting!
