Condition: Minor cover and spine wear noted on both editions. There was a name written in pencil on the title page that someone tried to cross out in red in The Wonder Book. No other writing or missing pages noted in that edition. There is one or two small page tears noted.
New Friends is worn from being read over and over through the years. There are a few minor page tears at the bottom of the pages from being turned. Page smudges & a few wrinkles noted as well - all consistent with being a well-read book.
Facts and Fancies is an ex-schoolbook & has stamps & markings associated with being a schoolbook. No writing noted on any of the pages of the text itself.
The illustrations in these books are everything you would expect from a book published in the early 1930's. They definitely have an art deco style/vibe to them. The covers make these great books to add to any patriotic displays in your home as well.
