Questions & Comments

does this come with some kind of certificate of authenticity or something? Just curious.

Short answer, "No."
Long answer: No, none needed. If you read the description:
"Description: 8 1/4" - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 1938 Privately printed Hardcover green cloth Book very good No jacket No PO marks Love letter to a lost wife. 2 pictures, tissue guarded; Removable Insert of beloved wife." ~
It is there in its entirety. I worked for the company that printed this book. This book was originally owned by my mother, who also worked for the printer, and was given this book as a gift from a friend, who also worked for the printer. We live in Massachusetts, where this book was printed and received it from employees that worked for the Murray Printing Company, which printed this book. This was a small batch, privately printed book, that "I" absolutely believe is the real deal. Not having any other certifications, if you don't feel comfortable with that and don't believe this is the real deal, and wish only to purchase (get given, for free) something that comes with a certificate, then please don't bid on it because you will not get one. If you believe that what I am showing here is authentic by what I have shown in the photos and written in my description you are more than welcome to bid.
You can also visit websites, for example: http://www.biblio.com/books/190268918.html
for more information.
Hope that helps.

I love finding interesting books, especially ones of older years. I am hooked already. Fanned, watching and I will be bidding.

Why thanks a million, I love old books. Was a book maker back in the day. I could do just about any job in the bindery! SO much goes into a book, so few realize it.
