Looking for an Alf Becker book

Post by Mike Jackson »

I have a good, dark photocopy of the 1941 book, 100 Alphabets by Alf R. Becker, but I am hoping to find an original in good shape. If anyone has one, I'd pay a fair price for it, or trade something I have in duplicate.

They were printed by Signs of the Times Publishing Company, and were advertised regularly in the magazine, so they should be relatively easy to find. Unfortunately, they were bound with those cheap plastic plastic combs, and many have probably become brittle and broken.

Let me know if you have one you can sell or trade.
