Description:
This is a charming antique children's story, "THE ROCKET BOOK" by Peter Newell. 1912 1st edition; Harper & Brothers; New York. Nicely illustrated by Newell with full-page drawings in color on every other page. Illustrated title page. Every page has an actual hole at the center, which is incorporated into the illustration. From a review: "Long before Richard Scarry or Dr. Seuss, an American artist delighted a generation of children and their parents with hilarious, topsy-turvy illustrations and slightly subversive tales told in rhyme. This was illustrator/author Peter Newell. Originally published in 1912, The Rocket Book remains as profoundly enjoyable and incredibly popular as ever. This classic work will delight readers of all ages with the story of how a rocket launched from the basement floor of an apartment building and how it interrupts the day."

Description:
"NEW YORK BEAUTIFUL" by Wallace Nutting with its original dust jacket. 1936 1st edition; Garden City Publishing Co.; New York. The book is richly illustrated with black & white photographs throughout. From the dust jacket: "From the mighty thunder of majestic Niagara to the serene sweep of the stately Hudson, within the boundaries of the great State of New York lies an extraordinary variety of magnificent scenery. In the North the lofty Adirondacks reach rugged spires to the sky; in the South the Palisades hem with a volcanic wall the inner shore of America's Rhine. Centrally lie the ragged Finger Lakes, fed by the rushing torrents of the northern hills, and eastward spread the broad expanses of Lakes George and Champlain, great bodies of blue water that early voyagers mistook for undiscovered seas. The friendly Catskills, whose wooded fastnesses still breathe the fabled fold-lore of the early Dutch, release their gentle northward slopes to cattle and the plowing fields of man, and rolling hills… Read More
