Description: RARE Useful Objects Today Teaching Portfolio #4 MOMA MCM ~ 1954 1st Ed NM + Bonus Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Funky Christmas / Everyday Funky These books etc. come from my father-in-law's estate. We have an entire weaving and yarn shop inventory to sell that was filled to the brim. This book was found in a locked glass bookcase in my father-in-law's yarn shop. This book is in NEAR MINT condition. The spine is non-existent; it is loose-leaf pages. There is no dust jacket; just the folder . Actual front and back boards have very minimal damage with only some scuffing. No marks or highlighting in text. Pages are bright white, crisp, clean and unmarked. Cover has a minor curve on the front edge. All black and white photographs. Illustrated, collectible, 1st edition. This book is in NEAR MINT condition with very little wrong with this item. The upper and lower front edge at the spine have started to separate and have been lightly tacked down for safety in shipping. When researching this item, we were delighted to see that while ours has minor issues, the sold comparisons had what appears to be much more damage to the covers than ours! Please look it up to verify! Also, our book comes with a BONUS book from 1961, from the the equivalent of the Michigan Department of Ed, which references this book, in relationship to teaching architecture, and Mid Century Modern design, in High School. Kinda cool! Please NOTE: Old books are heavy books. Safe shipping may move them into the next postal category. Sorry! Please NOTE: We live in Michigan and it is winter. We have the Lake Effect almost every day – massive cloud cover. We are doing the best we can with interior lighting for the pictures. Also, please NOTE: Almost every book has a smudge somewhere. We mention it if we see it, but please assume we missed something. PLEASE NOTE: Because eBay is composed of soulless, bloodsucking monsters, and because it is forcing us to use an ISBN number for a book that DOES NOT have an ISBN number, and even when it DOES have an ISBN, still won’t let us use it, so we use one of a random book. Our book is pre-ISBN numbers. The Library of Congress number is not in this book. The LOC does not hyphenate when you put the number in to verify. Fake ISBN number is 9781014236289. Correct ISBN number is non-existent. We put in whichever one the system will take. Sorry! Note: We are running out of estate books and will be slowly changing over to their other possessions – some serious, some MCM, some just funky, or kitschy. Others are Depression era. Some will be brand new items, still in their packaging, and others will be more mainstream books (from one of the Grandma’s) or some of our personal books or collectables, as we are not leaving this mess to our kids. We hope you have fun and stay with us. Shipping – All books are shipped on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday on the first day possible after payment is received around 8 to 9 AM. They are shipped by Media Mail in heavy brown paper, similar to a grocery paper bag. All wrapping and shipping materials are recycled from the cardboard to bubble wrap to 50 year old envelopes. Our packages are ugly, but are very carefully wrapped to arrive safely. We always refund shipping credit if you buy multiple items. Free local pick up. We refund your shipping charges! Please help us recycle these lovingly cared for curios in an environmentally friendly manner.
