Subject / Topic: From the site manybooks.net comes this description: “A pleasant, humorous story in which Thankful acquires, with a home on Cape Code, a “ghost” which interferes with its success as a boarding house, a mortgage, and a miserly millionaire neighbor who makes all the trouble he can. Captain Obed Bangs smooths many of the troubles and finally shares the few that are left.”

Format: Hardcover.

Published:  1915; appears to be a first edition

Condition:  The book is in good condition; the binding is compromised along the vertical seams of the inside front and back covers, but otherwise seems in good condition.

Price:  $10.00 plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax.

# Available:  one

Defects, Nicks and/or Blemishes: This book is in good condition.  Any white shading that shows in the photos is from the camera flash and is not seen in the item itself.

Item Location: Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps, 189 B Main Street, Lewiston ME.

NOTE:  With the exception of books, maps & music, most of our antique and other inventory can now be found at one of the great antique shops or flea markets listed here:  https://heritagecollectiblesmaine.com/details-hours/ 

We hope you will enjoy our booths at those locations as you did our shop on Main Street.

For those dying to check out the revamped Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps, we are still in the same building, but our new entrance is at the back of that building.  You’ll see some signs in the windows saying “Heritage Collectibles”, “Retail Shop” and “Welcome”!

Just turn off Main Street in Lewiston onto Park Street and park in the first available parking spot.  The entrance is through the door at the end of the building on the right hand side.  You’ll see signs in the windows (“Retail Store” and “Heritage Collectibles” and “Antiques” as well as others; you’ll also see my silver Jeep Liberty parked there.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us for the past three+ years!

*****************************

In memory of my beloved husband John K Snyder… 20 Sept 1956 – 21 Oct 2016.
He loved our shops, especially the section we called Heritage Books, Maps & Ephemera – that was his baby.

He loved me like crazy, and oh how I loved him.

Follow our blog at https://warrior-project.org, in honor of my husband, and all others who have been lost to internal demons that in the end, overwhelmed them.

All of the profits after expenses from Heritage Collectibles, Books & Maps will go to help fund The Grief Warrior Project, a suicide prevention drop-in and counseling center in the process of being developed.

(Please Note: The Grief Warrior Project is in no way intended to be reflective of, or piggy back off, Wounded Warriors which serves those military personnel wounded after September 11, 20o1.  Like too many others, John was a warrior long before then.)

Vintage Book – Woman and the New Race, by Margaret Sanger

Posted on February 1, 2015 by lindasnyder

Subject / Topic:  From the dust jacket: This leader of feminine thought and action gives here new, practical, constructive ideas on the limitation of offspring that are startling only because other writers have lacked the vision and the courage to set them forth.

Format: Hardcover.

Published:  Copyrighted 1920; this edition is the 5th printing from 1922.

Special Attributes:  Comes with inserted typed note about contacting the author (see photos); several flyers from the publisher “Truth Publishing Company”, and a separate booklet of 90+ pages called “What Every Girl Should Know” that includes chapters on “Puberty, “Sexual Impulse” and “Some of the Consequences of Ignorance and Silence” and which has as its dedication “To the working girls of the world this little book is lovingly dedicated”.

Condition:  Dust jacket has sustained some tearing and other minor damage, and the pages inside are of that older type where the trimming was not done consistently, so the page edges are quite uneven.  However, the binding is firm and the book is in good shape.  The inserted booklet has a few minor tears.

Price:  $48.00

# Available:  one

Defects, Nicks and/or Blemishes: This book is in very good condition.  Any white shading that shows in the photos is from the camera flash and is not seen in the item itself.

Message re Our Products:
All of the items we offer are vintage, antique or simply pre-owned.  Therefore, reasonable wear & tear is to be expected, and our items are sold as seen and described in the photos and/or in person. 
We try to describe any damage, nicks, blemishes or other problems of which we are aware in any and all of our listings, and always include plenty of clear photographs which are integral to the description, so please review them closely.  
Also, please be aware that vintage and antique items are unlikely to be in factory condition, so if you aren’t used to buying antique or vintage items – and are in fact looking for a pristine, unused item – a new reproduction may be better suited for you. We ordinarily do not “clean up” items because such cleaning may detract from their value. 
We are specific and honest in our descriptions because we want happy buyers who will return and/or refer their friends!
