Party Games for Grown-Ups [Little Blue Book No. 1239]
Girard, Kansas: Haldeman-Julius, 1927. 32mo, saddle-stapled [2 staples] in wraps. Gibbs 1239, first noted variation, in the 11th wrapper variation.
A beguiling book of parlor games for the modern hostess, published just before the Great Depression, in the desirable illustrated cover. The games include some for the bibliophiliac, including a game of charades based upon book titles - Goddard suggests the Tattooed Countess, among others.
"Home parties are again in vogue. The high cost of entertaining in restaurants and other public places has driven the majority of hostesses to return to the simpler home affairs."
Very good with some moderate fading to wraps and some light rubbing to spine ends. Item #30455
Price: $25.00
