About This Item

Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company, 1932. Hardcover. VG-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, red cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows minor spotting and soiling along with some very minor edge bumps. Internal binding is good, no hinge issues. Pages are tone due to age and some minor foxing/spotting is present. What makes this book unique is the inscription on the front end page: "To my friend and good companion of the 'movies'. Nancy P. Ellicott - (unknown word) Adelaide Nutting - Ogunquit - August 1932". Both Nancy Ellicott and Adelaide Nutting were noted professionals in the medical field. Nancy started at Johns Hopkins Hospital and for her work at the War Demonstration Hospital on the Rockefeller campus during World War I, she was awarded a Medal of Honor from the Minister of Hygiene of France. Nurse Nutting was also from Johns Hopkins and also was active during WWI. For her wartime efforts, she was awarded the Liberty Service Medal from the National Institute of Social Sciences.

Reviews

On Oct 27 2022, a reader said:
Like all great artists, the author is self mocking.

He writes not of mawish experiences, but with

self depreciating, witty humor, ...I laugh out loud , on average, four times every page, and wish he were coming to lunch with me today so I could show him my love for him......he is a tough bird. Unspring of sharp comments upon the silly immature. acts of all humanity, yet wrapped in compaSsion. He is of an age when acerbic remarks and gracious decorum were still present.

Get this book and improve your life, that is my advice.

Terms of Sale

Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)

Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.

We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.

Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)

Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.

All of the book pictures were taken at the time the book was listed and we never use generic or stock photos in any listing. If you would like additional photos or information on any listing please let us know and we will be more than happy to comply.
