Description

The listing, "caxton edition" and a thread add both printed in 1886 has ended.

this is a lovely book, it is 127 years old. it has some loose pages and the binding is not in the best shape. inside is the name Miss Mattie Mc-Clure. also when i opened the book there was a small and lovely antique thread (add) card on the back of the card was the name of a (store) birkenwald & rosenstock in carrolton,mo. when you would bye something at a store, you could get a free card, lovely cards...
i can only think that this book was a gift to young mattie from one of her many bows. and maybe a true love, because u see she used that card as a bookmark and never took it out only 125 years later here in ky. when i took it from the book. i belive it should stay with the book and therefor i am sending it just that way. i wander where miss matties book will end up next??????
i have looked for miss matties family but no luck....

The thread card is stunning!! It is my humble opinion that the site should award you bonus credits for spinning such a wonderful tale in your description! I'm always glad to meet a kindred spirit who is as much a lover of the story as I am!!
