    Description

    Hi!  This is my 1958 DORIS DAY COLORING BOOK Auction.  Most of my collection I purchased in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but a few more in the early 200s so even though I'm pretty sure this set is ORIGINAL, I'm not ruling out REPRINT because I'm not an expert, just a collector.  This is NOT A REPRODUCTION - that I know for a fact!
    1958 DORIS DAY COLORING BOOK is in USED, FRAGILE/DELICATE YELLOWING/DARKENED CONDITION (Pics.1 thru 12 showing both front and back covers, inside front and back covers, and two pages either colored/painted Pics.11,12).  I counted a total of 63 pages, 2 pages colored or painted (Pic.11 Karla wrote her name again), 2 pages partially colored or painted.   The book measures approximately 15 & 1/4x 11 closed.  I will try to show you all the flaws between my detailed description and my 12-limited Ebay pictures.
    Front Cover:  Overall shopworn with scratches/marks (Pic.1).  Top Part of Front Cover is the number 1751 and above that is a hand-written "Karla" (Pic.2) - the edge above the name has a crease and a little more shopworn on the top left hand corner (Pics.1,2) - right top corner has a couple of creases which tends to make that corner bend inwards a bit (PIcs.1,2).  Bottom Part of Front Cover Edge right across has more severe shopworn - rip on lower left hand corner (Pics.1,3) - and a ripped turn-up piece towards the bottom right (Pic.3) - also right hand corner has crease and tends to make the right corner bend inwards a bit (Pics.1,3).  Whitman logo on bottom right corner (Pics.1,3).
    Inside Front Cover:  Overall shopworn, top right corner has crease which tends to bend inward (Pic.4) - a little discoloration due to age overall, roughness on all edges and corners, especially top and bottom across (Pic.4).  Title Page Across To The Right:  yellowed/darkened especially left side of page which has a rip midway and is more brittle than the rest of the Title Page (Pic.5).
    Back Cover:  Overall shopworn with scratches/marks (Pic.5).  Top Part of Back Cover on the top left corner crease/bent inward (Pics.5,6) - overall top edge shopworn - more severe creases/marks on bottom from left bottom corner all the way over to the right hand corner (Pic.8).   Inside Back Cover:  A couple of creases on the top edge - right corner has creases and tends to bend inwards a bit - a few creases midway - bottom right corner has creases and tends to bend inward a bit (Pic.9).  Last Uncolored Page To The Right - midway on the left side almost parallel to Doris Day's left shouder there is a missing piece on that page and the page before it due to age fragility (Pic.9).  All Pages have yellowed/darkened with age (it is 63 years old!).  Spine: Overall shopworn especially on the top and bottom corners (Pics.10,3,8 from different angles).
