New York and Akron, Ohio: The Saalfield Publishing Co, 1928. First edition. Stiff Wraps. Near Fine. Squarish 4to, 26.5 by 26 cm. Unpaginated, 12 leaves, with printing only on rectos. Unusual notion, in which the "reader" is instructed to cut out a section of the page along a dotted line. Revealed is a plane, a part of the picture from the leaf beneath, which then completes the top image. The only page without such a dotted line is the last one, and this because there is no picture below it. The book comes with a cut-out window already created on the front cover. This, as in the case of all the windows, is in the shape of a plane, and the image borrowed from the base sheet is of a plane. In our copy, none of the cut-outs were made and thus the book is essentially in an unused state, although there is a faint ownership inscription, dated 1928, on the front cover. The pages are age toned, as per the cheap paper used. Otherwise, fine condition.
