This is the account of two men's adventure to retrace the steps of Coronado through the American southwest.

No dust jacket. Some wear at the edges and corners. Pages are all clean, tight and intact, with one exception. I noted a lump on one page and when I opened the book to that page, a paperclip fell out, one that had been marking the page for decades, I assume. When it fell out it took the part of the page outlined by the clip, as shown in photos #3 and #4. No other page damage has been found. Secretaries in the 1950s were expected to do a lot more than type and take dictation. They were also expected to be exclusively female, while the bosses were all male. One thing secretaries of the 1950s were expected to be able to do is make travel arrangements, so photo #5 shows a page that teaches the potential secretary how to read a train timetable. Photo #6 shows a page that teaches how to help the boss with gift shopping for Christmas and other occasions. Of the few copies of this book that I have found on the market, none date back to 1952 (as this one does), with publication dates from 1958 to 1977.

No dust jacket. Some shelf wear. Pages clean, tight, intact. Techniques for teaching reading. Textbook. Owner's name inside front cover.

Textbook, 395 pages. I see no sign of underlining, highlighting or margin notes. Some shelf wear, mainly at the corners. Pages clean and tight. I suppose after 37 years, some of the issues aren't quite contemporary any longer, and there may be new ones, especially with the advance of the electronic age. The ten sections of the book do all seem to be still relevant in today's world, so it is not that far removed from "contemporary".

A loose-leaf book without the binder. New, still in wrapper. I have no idea how old or recent this is, since I didn't want to open it. Price tag reads $9.99, but I will let you have it for a lot less.

Trade paperback. Very little wear. A collection of fifty true stories by cat owners/lovers. The contributors are from all over the world and most are published writers (freelance, novelist, journalist) in their own right.
