ART IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS by Frances E. Thompson

By Brisco, 24 March, 2024
Description

I have a book here "ART IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS A Manual for Teachers" published by the State Department of Education Division of Negro Education Nashville, TN. in 1943. The book has some light brown stain/moisture exposure along binding of book but doesn't affect the book for use. There is a half-dollar sized area in the upper right hand corner of cover that has surface layer missing. If I had to describe it, looks like what would happen to it if a old sticker was slowly pulled off it. Damage does not go all the way through cover, only thin surface damage. The pages are not creased or ripped at all, no markings in book at all, no pages missing, all corners of book are flat and only slightly curled upwards over time and only first few pages are like this. Curling doesn't affect book or cover if laying flat as to push the cover up or look like they curled. Binding is original, not cracked, not broken or missing any part/piece and not dry rotted. Still in great shape. No fading of illustrations on cover or the body of the book. All text just a legible as they would be if brand new. I would like to get a rough estimate as to what someone would think this is worth and are there any organizations, or people that preserve Negro Education in Tennessee mainly but will like places out of state as well, that would possibly be interested in buying such an item?

Cannot find one online…

Cannot find one online except at an auction site for Very Rare, Priceless items, was in worse condition than this one with markings in book. Was sold for hundreds of dollars. (I understand the selling price of the book does not reflect the value).
