Manuscript / Paper Collectible First Edition
Printed wrappers, stapled. 20 unnumbered pages. Wrappers toned at edges, first and last leaf of text tanned due to possibly inexpensive war era paper; tiny neat ownership name on top edge of verso of the upper wrapper, else a very good or better copy of this fundamental American child rearing pamphlet. First separate edition; reprinted from The Journal of Pediatrics, October 1945. With gentle good sense Dr. Benjamin Spock assured new mothers that their babies were normal whatever they did; that the most seemingly insurmountable issue can be weathered by following what the baby tells you. Good advice, even in the 21st century.
