1911 in Color!
I somehow missed this book when it was first published in 1911 (ha) so it is neat to now be able to own one of the 'original' editions of the Boy Scouts Handbook (or 'Handbook For Boys'). The cover isn't the same as an original, but what's inside appears to be a faithful recreation of one, but with color added. I have a few other older BSA Handbooks and this is a nice addition to that collection..Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
