HOW TO MAKE FACES 1940 by Frank Webb Unused Cartooning 80 pages

Description: MEASURES 6.75" X 9.75" AND IS 80 PAGES PLUS OUTER WRAPS. APPEARS UNUSED. HEAVY TONING TO COVERS AND PAGES TOUCHING FRONT AND REAR COVERS. WHAT SOMETIMES APPEARS TO BE LIGHT WRITING ON THE "PRACTICE PAGES" IS ACTUALLY THE IMAGES FROM THE PRINTED OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE PAGE. THOUGH NOT WRITTEN ON, IT APPEARS THE BOOK WAS READ WITH TWO CONDITION ISSUES. 1- The cover had clearly split at the fold line where the staples were (PHOTO 16 & 17) and the covers were then glued back to the edges of the first and last page and each other. 2- The staples were too short to handle this many pages and the center two pages came loose at some point. Original owner used cloth tape to keep the pages in place by punching the staples through the cloth and thus preventing the small cuts in the staple holes of those two pages from allowing the pages to slip out (PHOTO 18 & 19) and then bending the staples back over. WHILE I HAVE FOUND COPIES OF THIS BOOK HAVING SOLD OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NONE EVER HAD ALL 80 PAGES. APPARENTLY, THE CENTER PAGES ALWAYS FELL OUT AND SINCE THE BOOK HAS NO PAGE NUMBERS, THEY WERE SIMPLY NEVER PUT BACK INTO THE BOOK AND NO ONE WOULD NOTICE THEY WERE GONE. Most later versions of this book were sold with 24-40 pages Original owner made a real effort to keep this book intact. While I have seen a couple of "Post War" versions of this book circa 1948 that have survived, I have found no other copy of this 1940 version and no copy at all that was not filled with the pencil drawings of a child. This later 1948 version had significantly less "instruction" by Webb on each page FRANK WEBB was best known for his cartoon panel KARTOON COLLEGE in 1940 and 1941. Afterwards, he began the comic strip RAISING KANE that ran until 1944. In the 1950's, he had a TV show called "Let's Draw with Frank Webb". They say he was unofficially the creator of Goofy for Walt Disney while working for the Company. The first pages of this book used the letters A through Z to begin making faces. He then moves on to create animals and people using basic shapes like circles and squares, commas, exclamation marks and question marks Each page gives instruction on how to draw one or more cartoon characters with a "Komik note" below and a practice page facing the instruction page. While it would not be terrible to find a copy with some examples drawn by a child of the 1940's, this copy is clean but for the paper toning that comes with nearly 85 years of age. PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. bs-10 PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required. Thank you
