Description: Mobile Design by John Lynch - 1955 1st Ed HC - MINT & DJ NM - MCM Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Designers are: Alexander Calder, David Hare, Joan Miro, Fenton Kastner, Robert Cronbach, George Rickey, John Lynch, David Smith, Ibram Lassaw, Lynn Chadwick, Herman Cherry, Shiozo Kitadai, Franklin O. Rich and even more in the Gallery of Mobiles in the back of the book. You can even mount your mobiles on panels and display like artwork! There are 8 designs with instructions for building your own mobile: Nine Circles, Cherry Pie, Big Dipper, Table Mobile, Fish, Dragon, Flying Saucers and our personal favorite, the Christmas Mobile. This book has a NEAR MINT DJ. It is missing a small piece in the upper front right cover corner as well as upper spine. a few nicks, notches or scuffs. Please see pictures to very the DJ is in NM condition (but NOT perfect :) The book itself is MINT. We honestly don't see anything wrong in the book itself (but, again, see pictures) as we have old eyes. This book belonged to a family of artists which had multiple copies of books they loved. We have 2 of these, in the exact same condition, the only difference being the tiny damage on the upper corner DJ is on the lower front corner DJ in the 2nd book. We have pictures of that one too and will send if you message for it. Same thing - MINT book, NM DJ. PLEASE NOTE: For absolutely no reason, eBay keeps changing the formatting on multiple listings which makes pictures un-viewable. We are asking, if you see one of our listings with missing pictures and blank spaces, please shoot us a note that tells us, so we can 1) send pictures to you via message if you want them and/or 2) go back into the listing and fix it AGAIN. There are many complaints about this from sellers. Apparently, eBay does not care to fix the problem. So a tiny message would really help, like ‘no pics’ or ‘pics messed up’. Please, be kind, and let us know if there is a problem. Thank you in advance :) Please NOTE: Old books are heavy books. Safe shipping may move them into the next postal category. Sorry! Please NOTE: We live in Michigan and it is winter. We have the Lake Effect almost every day – massive cloud cover. We are doing the best we can with interior lighting for the pictures. Also, please NOTE: Almost every book has a smudge somewhere. We mention it if we see it, but please assume we missed something. PLEASE NOTE: Because eBay is composed of soulless, bloodsucking monsters, and because it is forcing us to use an ISBN number for a book that DOES NOT have an ISBN number, and even when it DOES have an ISBN, still won’t let us use it, so we use one of a random book. Our book is pre-ISBN numbers. The Library of Congress number is 557327. The LOC does not hyphenate when you put the number in to verify. Fake ISBN number is 9781014236289. Correct ISBN number is non-existent. We put in whichever one the system will take. Sorry! Please consider searching golem451, in the upper right corner of this page, to see what other items we have that are priced to move, and to see if you might want to buy something to add to your collection while saving $$$ on shipping. Many vintage children's books or coloring books already listed and many, many more coming soon! Thank you for your consideration. Note: We are running out of estate books and will be slowly changing over to their other possessions – some serious, some MCM, some just funky, or kitschy. Others are Depression era. Some will be brand new items, still in their packaging, and others will be more mainstream books (from one of the Grandma’s) or some of our personal books or collectables, as we are not leaving this mess to our kids. We hope you will have fun and stay with us. Shipping – All books are shipped on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday on the first day possible after payment is received around 8 to 9 AM. They are shipped by Media Mail in heavy brown paper, similar to a grocery paper bag. All wrapping and shipping materials are recycled from the cardboard to bubble wrap to 50 year old envelopes. Our packages are ugly, but are very carefully wrapped to arrive safely. We always refund shipping credit if you buy multiple items. Free local pick up. We refund your shipping charges! Please help us recycle these lovingly cared for curios in an environmentally friendly manner.
