I'm so glad I just won "I Married Adventure, The lives & Adventures of Martin and Osa Johnson" (1st Edition 1940) on Ebay today! I won it for only $31!
Gorgeous! I know we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but can we be blamed when its covered in that fabulous print??? I just may have to do a little Ebay hunting for one myself!
I recall having my hands on this book at a junk shop about 20 years ago. It smelled like mold & the price was only $3.00. Had I known I would never be able to buy the book again at a reasonable price, I would have put up with the moldy smell.
no, but I wish I did now. I would buy it strictly for looks and decor. lol. how fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTee hee... I agree with Maegan. I have no idea what it is even about but love love love the look of it! Happy reading my lovely x

Yeah for you! It's so exciting to win on Ebay. I don't have the book, but I love its cover. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteDid you or your shop send any .exe to my email telling me that I won a star at Made by girl?
ReplyDeleteI grew up with this book in our family library, I loved the jacket... not sure what ever happened to it. Great find!
