Very nice booklet -- clean and bright inside and out. Measures 6-1/2"x 9-1/2" and has 70 pages. The title page shows drawings of Abraham Lincoln, Luther Burbank, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Articles are practical and down to earth including these topics: woodworking projects around the farm, such as a homemade fly trap which caught 500,000 flies in a single season; radio on the farm; and poisonous weeds and plants. Illustrated with drawings and photographs. Very much a how-to book. View more info

Seller ID: 1567
Condition: Good-plus
Andy Warhols' magazines are so much fun to read. I love when some come my way and right now I have several. This one features Joan Collins, but there's also interviews with many celebrities with an emphasis on TV personalities including David Letterman, Tom Brakow, Peter Jennings and Barbara Walters. Huge magazine -- measures 11"x17". The text is clean as is the cover, though spine area and back cover do show some browning. There were also a few small tears at top and a circular tear at bottom. Both were repaired by me with archival tape. The lower one still suffers from a small paper loss. ... View more info

Seller ID: 2878
Condition: Good
These two Atwater Kent items came together so, as always, I kept them that way. The catalog isn't perfect, but is tightly bound and clean. Defects include vertical crease on all pages and cover, but I have ironed it flat and put it in the book press. There's a also a tiny corner missing to lower front cover, a part of mailing label on front has been removed, there's a few faint pencil marks on back, and evidence that something was once pasted on top edge of a two page spread (see photo). The radio card log is interesting -- it's completely filled in on both sides and dated 12-25-29. View more info

Condition: Fine condition
This is an astonishing find based on Super Circus, one of the earliest TV shows for children. It was sponsored by Weatherbird Shoes and began in Chicago in 1949 and ended in New York in 1956.

Condition: Very Good
In the heyday of radio Radio Stars Magazine was the biggest publication of its kind. So many of the movie stars got their break on radio before they hit the big screen. The cover of this issue features Jeanette McDonald fresh off her honeymoon, plus a story about the then very young Kitty Carlisle. Some of the names have faded, but it's interesting to get a bird's eye view of the radio stars when radio was a Big Thing. There's also gossip and a complete coast to coast radio guide. magazine measures 8-1/2" x 11-1/2" and has 92 pages. Magazine is clean and tightly bound with just a 3" area of st... View more info

Usually there's a name or two that jumps out of Collier's, but this time no luck. It's still interesting though with a hard look at what Russia was up to in 1949, penned by Frank Gevasi; an article about how much money it was going to cost to make TV mainstream; and Native American dancing by various tribes (beautiful pictures). There's also a really cool ad by Wurlitzer advertising a jukebox that looks like a work of art! As always, this magazine has fiction too. Magazine measures 10-1/4" x 13-3/4" and sports 82 pages. The whole thing is beautiful inside and out with a spine that feels like s... View more info
