Title: Let's Play Circus! Another Peek-A-Boo Book by Carrie Dudley, Performers-Us Kids. Ringmaster-Gordon Volland, Jr.
Author: DUDLEY, Carrie
Seller: Sandra L Hoekstra Bookseller, ABAA, ILAB, IOBA (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Minneapolis: A Gordon Volland Production presented by The Buzza Co., Craftacres, 1928. Boards. Very good. [TOY BOOK] [WOMAN AUTHOR] [RACIST CARICATURE] [STIGMATIZING LANGUAGE]. 8vo oblong (9 ¾" x 13"); [8] illustrated stiff board leaves with peep-holes bound on cloth hinges to the left, and [6] illustrated leaves and a title page bound to the right on the rear board fore-edge; color pictorial boards with cut-out peep holes; blue cloth shelf-back; color pictorial endpapers; scuffing to edges and bumping of corners, light hand-wear; very good. Lacking the pictorial presentation box. Not in Baumgarten or Montanaro. Scarce. OCLC locates this in 6 libraries. One of the peep-books by the author and illustrator, Carrie [Douglas] Dudley Evans (1894-1982). This peep-hole book features changing pictures and words. The text is written as if spoken and written by a young child, complete with deliberate misspellings. The board leaves on the left of the book have peep-holes so that when interleaved with those on the right they change pictures and tell a story about children playing circus. Some of the children name-call their playmates and goad them, much as they might in life. Bright illustrations of children at play mask the racist nature of the front board which features a "Wild Man" in a wheeled cage drawn by a goat. The pictured "Wild Man" is labeled on the free-front endpaper as "Wild Kanibull Frum Feegee ilez" and pictures a Brown skinned child with exaggerated lips and dressed as a cannibal caricature. In further offensive stigmatizing language for dwarfs, the text speaks of "FREEKS" and "FREAKS' at the circus and "actin'like a midget."

Title: Tobacco Road (The Unabridged Edition)
Author: Caldwell, Erskine
Seller: Crooked House Books & Paper (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Grosset & Dunlap, 1932. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Brown cloth boards with blindstamped road design and green lettering, under illustrated dust jacket. Undated, but probably just pre-war: the titles advertised on the rear are late 1930s, but there is no paper-saving notice on the DJ and the pages are thick & with lower pulp content than most war-era books. Minor rubbing to jacket, a well-preserved copy.
