1887 "WATSON'S COMPLETE SPELLER
ORAL AND WRITTEN"
By J. Madison Watson
This is a wonderful old speller I purchased at an estate sale. This is the sort of thing used by high school kids many years ago. The covers show some normal surface, corner and edge wear, but still look great for their age. I love the Victorian Era lettering and decoration. The pages inside show some moisture marking. Some pages show some old "bookworm" type damage, mostly on the page edges. The binding is still intact. Copyright 1887 by the author. Published by American Book Company. Measures just short of 7 1/2 inches long and 5 inches wide. Ships inexpensively by USPS Media Mail. This is a neat old speller, just like the one great grandma used. Don't miss out. Bid now!

TIP: Don't Get Outbid At The Last Moment or Miss Your Opportunity to Bid:
A lot of bidders are disappointed at losing in the last second. They've been "sniped" by other bidders. You can prevent this by entering your Maximum Bid (highest amount you're willing to pay) when you place your bid. Then, if someone places a higher bid, yours rises just enough to cover theirs (up to your maximum). This gets you the best possible price, and reduces the odds of being sniped. It also prevents you from forgetting to bid at the last moment. I get emails all the time saying "I got distracted and did not get to bid. Do you have any more??" I almost never do!

The Fine Print. Please read!
