1946 · New York
by Earle, Vana
New York: Capitol Publishing Co, 1946. Very good.. Charming mid-century activity alphabet book — with a blackboard and chalk for an interactive learning experience. Children's books published by Capitol Publishing Co. and other major publishers during the mid-century explored fun formats and shapes, but the unusual frame-like layout with a reusable writing element stands out among these publications. Exceptional with the original box and chalk intact.
. 9" x 12" Original pictorial boards with cut-out square center to front board. 2-inch box attached to front endpaper containing chalk, as issued. Actual slate chalkboard incorporated into rear endpaper. Illustrated in color by Vana Earle. Two series of [16] pages on thick paper, 3-inches tall and bound at the top and bottom edges. Ink owner inscription to first leaf. Toned and cocked spine. Boards with some wear, a bit of soil to leaves. Overall bright. (Inventory #: 33060)
