DUST JACKET is likewise and now protected by Brodart cover. Author was teacher and head of Middle School at Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia and inscription is to a supporter of the school many years later. 269 pp. Promotional sheet for book tipped in. HUM 025583 CARP A nice tight book with a SIGNED inscription with a nice association - a supporter of the school GFS, where Johnson taught and was an administrator. While there he wrote his first book - how to teach yourself to spell - for students and went on to write many books aimed at middle school aged students. I tested out the first two stories in the introduction and got laughs on both of them! His goal was not to analyze humor but to include funny stories - I think he succeeded.

Store description
We had an open shop in the Northwest section of Philadelphia in the Chestnut Hill, Mt Airy neighborhood for 18 1/2 years. It was in a beautiful 1882 train station designed by the noted architect, Frank Furness. In August of 2014, we closed that shop but continue to sell on-line out of our home in Williamsburg, PA. We'd love to have you visit our 8,000 plus books, by appointment.
