Keeping Mentally Alive by Ethel Cotton
Esser-Federick Inc New York 1931,
1st Edition, 306 pages
$1000
It's hard to say what this book is actually worth, it's scarcity is remarkable, there was a copy with dust jacket for $2500 online in an expired listing. I have several other books from the same time period and genre, post depression era self help books. In addition there's a collection of pamphlets, brochures, paperwork, and cards that you can browse and take some for free. You'll be the only other person besides me that's even seen all this memorabilia and ephemera in 50+ years. It all adds up to hundreds of dollars. So while I'm firm on the price, you can get valuable bonus items of your choosing included.
Check out the Valued Books list below for some old, hard to find, and unusual selections, including many first editions. I'll work with you on the prices, the more you want the more you'll save. There's also a whole box of other books in the $5 range, you're welcome to pick for free. Every book you buy gets you a free one from the box. I'm in North Everett.
