First Edition
Booklet. Condition: Very Good. First. Lost Chord, Joseph J. Gudonis editor and publisher, assisted by Little Joe (5 yrs.--9mo) as Asst. editor and typesetter. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 1944. 16pp. 6.25 x 3.75 inches. Yellow wrapper with green screened design on front. Very light soiling. Clean interior. Very good condition. A curious little booklet produced in December 1944, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. OCLC notes two copies, one in New York and one in New Zealand and hints that this was a periodical, yet we find no other issues. The publishers were members of the American Amateur Press Association, the National Amateur Press Association and the United Amateur Press Alumni Association of which we guess only the first group may have actually existed. A humorous little booklet which includes a patented Lost Chord Cigarette Lighter (tear off half a page from the booklet, insert paper to flame then apply to cigarette).
