That IS a WOW! Looks like it is in really decent shape too. I have a few old poultry books( no where near as old as your great find), and they really were interesting reading! Definate treasure you have!
You'll have to share excerpts with us!!
Lucky you! What a great find on that vintage book! I'd have been all over that one myself! Sad that the book store is closing it's doors. Sounds like it was a little gem of a place!
And the people who worked there were amazing. My kids loved to shop there for gifts for me....something they have trouble doing since I live alone with them. The kids would instruct me to stay out. I could just send them in, they would help them pick out things they could afford and then pack it up nice and secure so I couldn't see and send them back out to me. Not a lot of stores like that anymore.
That is a way cool find! I'm thinking that $1.00 was an expensive price for a book back then, so whomever bought it originally probably took great care of it to begin with.
Heck they might have even loved chickens more than you Christy!
