Description

The listing, Two Shirley Temple Vintage Antique Books The Little Princess Poor Little Rich Girl Fair Cond Rare has ended.

My mother gave me these a couple of years ago. They were my grandmothers, but I really have no attachment to them (I have other items from grandma that mean more). Both books are 100% complete and readable, but are in far from perfect condition. The pages are coming out of the binding, there is a dedication written on the cover of one (not an autograph - it's a dedication from my great aunt to my grandmother), an attempt to tape the binding together on one, and some pages are yellow. However, the pictures and words are complete and not in any way obscured. Nothing is missing from either one.
In light of today's events, I am in hopes that someone might want them to either restore them (if that's even possible), or maybe use as some type of memorabilia or collage in Shirley Temple's memory. I'm starting the bidding very low and offering free shipping in the hopes that someone will be able to appreciate them. I just simply have no use for them.

I will pack these with extra special care for you. I make no claims that these are in very good shape, so I am selling these as-is. I would genuinely like to have someone who cares get this.

I won't do a GIN on this, to give everyone a fair chance at getting it.

I always ship free to the US, have a great long-term reputation here at Listia, and am happy to be here. I do allow advertising of other auctions, but only if you ask first and are willing to reciprocate. I recently closed my online stores to focus more on my regular job and my family and health, so I will also be getting rid of what is left of my inventory from that. Stay tuned for lots of interesting stuff!

Also, these items come from a smoke free, dog friendly home.

Have you heard the sad news? Shirley Temple Black passed away on Monday night. What an amazing woman she was! I have a special place in my heart for her and quite a collection of her books and dolls. F&W. ;)

Yes, that's actually why I posted. I figure someone would really like to have these, and this seemed like a good time to offer them.
Thanks for the kind words & I will f/b.

I do mention that in the description. It's not anyone famous - just a dedication from my great aunt to my grandmother. I realize that technically "devalues" it, but I am giving this away for free.

How much is shipping to Canada?

It will depend on where in Canada you live, and whether you want tracking on it, but should be around $10-$20. I won't charge you any more than I am charged for postage.

A dedication, does it technically "devalue" it ? I think
it depends on who is buying it and for what purpose.
To many a dedication from a great aunt to a grandmother
would place a high and meaningful value on it. It is a heart
warming spark that reminds some of a special someone like
that from their past or perhaps a longing or even envy of never
having that in their past. It's kinda neat to look in on a loving
connection from the past. Thanks for the auction.

Thank you. :)
I appreciate the kind words.
I do have a number of other items with sentimental value from my grandmother, or I assure you, I would not have posted this.
If whomever wins this auction would like to know about either of the persons behind the dedication, I will be happy to tell you - just let me know. :)
