Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
Speaking of old books, I am half way through my Mary Jane Holmes, Meadow Brook, and I can hardly put it down! First published in 1857,the story’s heroine, is based on some of the details of her own childhood and early home. The third publication, which is my issue, was in 1900 and the publisher includes this note:” Handsomely bound in cloth. Price $100 each, and sent free by mail on receipt of price.”
Is that $ 100 or $ 1.00 ?
Much as I love books, that $100 price tag is too high for this bibliophile.
