[QUOTE="User 48, post: 1609, member: 48"][FONT=Arial][B]Oh, golly! Good stuff, everyone! [/B] Another find of mine, of no great monetary value but too interesting to pass up. This little postcard-format booklet is about 7.0" x 4.75" (18cmx12cm), staple-bound, 64 pages in full color, each page with a line or two of verse appropriate to the image. It was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd., Dundee and London. It has no date but it has to be c. 1940 - 1952 based on the quote on the title page from the King.

This title was not listed, so I emailed the website's owner, in Edinburgh, and gave him information about it and offered to send a scan or two of the booklet. He replied that the title was unknown to him and that he'd love to have more info and some scans. Now, I ask you, isn't that the sort of thing that we all love?[/FONT] Cover: [IMG]http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/maxine234/9f28a631-8156-4852-b7d4-2d05a5a1c790_zps3a5679be.jpg[/IMG] Title page: [IMG]http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/maxine234/30dfb749-f8a0-44e3-953e-b5e8fa77cbfa_zps0bf0ec16.jpg[/IMG] Couple of Pages: [IMG]http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/maxine234/fbd3dd94-2edd-461f-850f-665519e44522_zps92cc42a5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu280/maxine234/40d11fe9-e451-4793-8112-316b0f8ea4e1_zps747a4087.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
