I have a great deal of respect for anyone who has the skill – and patience – to create the beautiful doilies and other items demonstrated in this booklets.  It’s truly a skill set that seems lost to most of us nowadays.

It’s also quite amazing to see that each of these booklets was only 29c back in the late 50s/early 60s (the “newest” one in the lot was 35c!).

I checked the prices on Amazon for most of these.  They now go for anywhere between $3.00 to $15.00 each with an average price of about $5.00, plus shipping.  We’re selling the entire lot for $24.00, which seems like a good deal

Alternatively, if you don’t mind waiting a bit:

Shipping & Delivery: Because this item is on display 20 miles from us, I may not even know for several days (usually over a weekend) whether or not an item is still available, but can bring it back to Lewiston for you the next time I’m in Brunswick updating our display. At that point, you’d be able to take advantage of local pick up at my office (by appointment only), or I can get it delivered to you per the next paragraph.

We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn most days, or along the Lewiston-Lisbon-Topsham-Brunswick route (dates vary), for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00.

Shipping via USPS is $8.00 for all.
