Overall, a nice copy.

A charming children's book which takes a journey through the year in rhyme. Each page is illustrated with black and white or tri-color drawings reminiscent of post-World War II America. 3 pages that we saw had parts of the illustrations carefully colored in. From the dust jacket:
"There are poems that tell stories, nonsense rhymes, bits of verse as soothing as a lullaby, and poems about the holidays. Some verses daddy and mother will remember from their own childhood, and others appear in print for the first time. Francis Kirn, the artist, has caught the feeling of each poem. There is a touch of whimsy and a sense of humor in some of the drawings and in others there is a feeling of tenderness and realism. Whatever the mood, poem and illustration combine to make the day's rhyme a unit."

"Acting jobs and cat-sitting assignments have been elusive for Alice Nestleton lately . . . but there's plenty of sleuthing work to be done.

It seems an anonymous benefactor has vanished (along with his much-needed holiday donation), and Alice must find out what's going on before the homeless shelter has to close its doors to the poor forever. But when a board member shoots himself during a meeting - and a murderous Scrooge tries to keep Alice out of the picture - things get messy. It's going to take some quick thinking - and the help of two Siamese cats named Tiny and Tim - to wrap up this case and cook a killer's Christmas goose."

New York Bantam Books 1981 0553145177 3rd Bantam Printing Mass Market Paperback Very Good  


Corners bumped, a little edge wear, light reading crease, a little rubbing. Some yellowing but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy.

"Dangerous moonlight illuminated the English skies the night a German bomb razed the houses in Lamb Lane, Berebury. Then three decades quietly passed before a careless workman's pickaxe struck an old skeleton buried under the wreckage . . . and exhumed a new case of murder for Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan. Time had blacked out the clues. All that remained were a body . . . an unborn baby . . . and a bullet. Could the inspector's uncanny investigative instinct now unearth a killer? Or would this delayed action affair explode and send another victim to moulder in the grave?"

Lehr, Paul (cover)

Spine a bit creased, slanted, corners bumped, slight edge wear and darkening. A little browning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy.

"When Thomas Harding retired to the Manor House of Easterbrook, he soon discovered it contained rather more than the house-agents had advertised. Behind the Tudor oak paneling of the drawing room lay a well-hidden priest's hole . . . and the remains of a 200-year-old murder. But there was more than one skeleton in the Easterbrook prish cupboard. The entire village seemed to share a guilty secret about the ancient Barbary family who once owned the mansion . . . and about the very recent killing of a beautiful Calleford blonde. "

48 Aird, Catherine Some Die Eloquent
New York Bantam Books 1981 0553243179 4th Bantam Printing Mass Market Paperback Very Good  
Lehr, Paul (cover)

Spine a bit creased and slanted, corners bumped, a little edge wear and rubbing. Some tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy.

"On the pathologists's cold metal table lay the naked body of Beatrice Gwendoline Wansdyke, spinster . . . Dead of perfectly natural causes at age 59. "The problem," mused the good doctor, "is not so much what she died from as what she died with: a quarter of a million pounds, in a bank account no maiden lady of modest means should have." Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan could feel in his bones it was murder. He had guessed at the motive. He would surely uncover the method. But why couldn't he find out where-oh-where had her little dog gone? And why would looking almost cost him his life?"

50 Alcott, Louisa May An Old-Fashioned Girl
New York Grosset & Dunlap 1911 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Good  No Jacket 


Spine slightly slanted, some edgewear & bumping, boards spotted near spine. Text yellowed, but clean and unmarked.

From the author's Preface: "As the first part of An Old-Fashioned Girl was written in 1869, the demand for a sequel, in beseeching little letters that made refusal impossible, rendered it necessary to carry my heroine boldly forward some six or seven years into the future. The domestic nature of the story makes this audacious proceeding possible; while the lively fancies of my young readers will supply all deficiencies and overlook all discrepancies. The 'Old-Fashioned Girl' is not intended as a perfect model, but as a possible improvement upon the Girl of the Period, who seems sorrowfully ignorant or ashamed of the good old fashions which make woman truly beautiful and honored, and, through her, render home what it should be, - a happy place, where parents and children, brothers and sisters, learn to love and know and help one another."
