Title: Choice Pages from Early American School Books
Description: New York: Americana Review, [1960]. 8vo. [ca 20 pp.]. Very Good. Soft covers. Turquoise blue printed wrappers. Stitch binding. Pages fine. With black & white illustrations throughout. From the preface: "Not every collector of early American school books is in the business of education. Many are fascinated by the nostalgia and others by the quaintness of old printing and engraving. This book was compiled just to exhibit a few choice pages of Americana. There is a certain flavor to each period represented - from the early New England Primer of 1780 to the First German book of 1880. .
