This book was just as I remembered but the binding was very loose to the point that some pages nearly fall out. I don’t remember that being in the item description.

Rediscovered Vintage & Antique Books and Treasures

A Portable Adventure - Reselling vintage children's books and other collectibles.

I started this Etsy shop with the name GLaCK, which has the first initial of our 4 children, to sell some of my comic books from the 1960's - 1980's. Growing dissatisfied with eBay, I started selling some of our vintage items from our collections, yard sales, and thrift stores. Soon, my wife, Luann, joined in the fun. Now, she mostly decides which books to list and I do much of the non-book items. If you like what you see in our store, please message us for a 10% discount coupon. Thank you for your interest,

Bruce - A Portable Adventure
