Plitex binding (spiral-bound "rings", of stiff fabric) by John F. Cuneo Company. Around 30 pages of blank blue-grey cardstock, brightly bordered in many colors, by Joan Ransom. Very light rubbing to extremities, but never used, nothing filled-in. This is an original, blank version of a scrapbook many of us now septaguenarians and Octagenarians ended up with all of our vital statistics, first words, steps, records of our achievements, mistakes, mischievousness, inventiveness, problem-solving, illnesses and recovery, certificates from activities and groups participated in -- sometimes locks of our hair, our first drawings, etc. The scrapbook was designed and produced by Norman W. Forgue, the cover by Douglas Rader.
