Description:
Medieval Leaf (i.e. a page with front and back) probably a religious text created in either a scribal house or monastic scriptorium. Nice letters in black, red and blue inks. The heading seems to be February on one side and January on the other which indicates this is probably a religious text, once part of a religious book indicating observances for certain months. According to a scholar, it's from a book about Candlemas. Different sized lettering throughout.Size, Date, Material and Region: Folio, measuring 14.5x10" (37x25.5cm) on parchment/vellum (i.e. animal skin) probably dating from circa 1375 to 1425 in Germany or eastern France.

Description:
Mr. Jones and Mr. Finnigan by Eva Knox Evans and Erick Berry Hardcover First Edition - First Printing Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1941. $1.00 cover price. Tan cloth with jacket. Fully illustrated with both b&w and four-color images/pictures. Scarce children's book about the virtues of eating in moderation. Mr. Finnigan is an overweight glutton and his friend Mr. Jones eats in moderation. As the story progresses, Mr. Jones begins behaving like his friend and starts getting fat!
Essentially Near Fine+ in Very Good+ Dust Jacket. Book is solid and clean with the occasional spot here and there. Chip to the lower spine and nicks and repaired tears to the jacket which is typical of most children's books published prior to circa 1980. A nice example of what appears to be a very uncommon if not scarce children's book and desirable in its original dust jacket. I could find very little information about this book.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
