Description: (Full list can be found at end of description) A rare assortment of play scripts from the first half of the 20th century across multiple publishers, starting from the aughts onward. Featuring at least one from each decade from 1900-1953, most veer towards the teens, 20s, and 30s. Please expect these books to be in true antique and vintage condition, some with torn covers or writing or library stickers. Please examine the photos for condition, noting that some of the books have extra large covers which give them a far more tattered appearance than they actually are as the overhanging cover is frayed but the pages are fine. All of the books are structurally sound - that is none are crumbling to dust, or shredded, all can be easily read with care. While they certainly have the light scent of age, they are not musty or smoky. They were found in the deep recesses of a well-kept house, likely stored there for decades. I have done my best to document all the books in this lot below, as well as any significant issues like missing covers. I believe I am accurate throughout, though please forgive me if I accidently get something wrong - my goal is to ensure you know what you are bidding on but I'm no expert in books or scripts. As always on ebay, the photos of are the true definer of condition. Please ensure they meet your satisfaction, I think they will. 9 of these are 100 years old or older, and all deserve to be in the home of someone who will cherish them. Hopefully that's you!
