Hi All,
I'm new to this sub but active in r/Antiques . Found this little book in a dollar bin at a coffee shop the other day and thought it was cute with the makeshift paper dust jacket (which subsequently fell apart later when I was paging through) and the writing inside from the presumably first owner. A google search only showed that this is available on Amazon as a brand new re-print and no original or antique editions were found online for sale. It has a lot of illustrations that may be hand colored - particularly of men from different countries and continents like Italy, Turkey, Africa, etc (not surprisingly none of these descriptions were PC and some were quite racist!). Do I have something rare here or is this book run of the mill? Appreciate your time.
