The Unsinkable Mrs. Jay

by Graham & Olmstead

  • Used
  • Hardcover
  • Signed
This book has been in our family since at least 1955 when as a child I took it out of my Grandmother's bookcase and colored with red and blue crayons all over the Dust Jacket cover.

BTW...it doesn't come with a Dust Jacket.

It is inscribed: "March 8, 1936 To Mrs Claus (?) from Lewis Graham (Lou Goldberg)

The book itself is in nice shape, no crayon coloring on any pages (put up on higher shelf), couple bumps on the corners, does not smell musty.

(no dust jacket) [tight clean copy, light wear to extremities, one-time owner's address label on front pastedown; text from jacket flaps affixed to ffep with tape].
