Dust jacket condition: No Jacket. From the Foreword: THE program of the modern forward-looking church, school or community includes the recreational and social as well as the distinctively educational in its plans and activities. Such a plan recognizes the significant truth that the proper use of leisure time is fully as important a problem in present-day society as the profitable use of work time. It acknowledges that the play and recreational interests often afford the most favorable approach to youth, and one of the surest anchorages? by which to hold its young members from drifting away. Hence such new vocations within the church and community as "Director of Recreational Activities" and "Club Leader." Many of those who have assumed responsibility either professionally or in an amateur way for this phase of social enterprises have felt the need of a> compilation of suitable games, plays, etc., for use by different ages and different kinds of groups. Various books have been published in this field, some dealing chiefly with matters of theory, organization, and the like, and others outlining programs for certain special occasions. What has been lacking is a rich compendium of games, plays and social recreations so classified and described that leaders may with economy of time and effort build balanced programs from these materials suited to every possible occasion.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date. If you've changed your mind about a book that you've ordered, please use the "Ask bookseller a question" link to contact us.

Shipping Terms

We generally ship by the next business day. We want your order to reach you in the same condition it leaves our shelves -- so much so that we've created our own brand of shipping mailer. CorgiPack� mailers are constructed with a B-flute corrugated fiberboard pad providing solid edge and corner protection in transit, protection sadly lacking in cheap bubble mailers. And they're 100% recyclable -- just put them out with the household paper! International orders are shipped via AIR and should arrive in 7 to 10 days after shipping. Oversize items (e.g. sets containing 2 or more volumes, 4to, folios) and high cost items are sometimes subject to additional shipping charges; we will contact you for your approval if such is the case. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. International shipments may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
