Joanna's and Mary's Much Battered and Embellished New Merrill Speller

Regular price $20.00

I don't think I'll get over my great love of much personalized old school books any time soon, and will keep buying them when I find them, whether anyone else wants them or so! This battered c. 1920s speller, which includes both the names Mary Kerrvck and Johanna Babbit inside, is missing a couple of pages as front, has a spine reinforced with black cloth tape, and is annotated with pencil throughout. What I love most are the drawings on the inside covers- two crude smiling faces at front, and four more carefully done (to varying degrees) portraits of women at back. Plus various little scribbles throughout. 

7 3/8" x 5 1/8" x 7/8". 270 pages. Much used and worn but holding together fine (though I might be inclined to remove that back cover and pop it in a frame.
