Every now and then an item comes along that makes you say: Boy, what a period in history to be interested in and this is why I collect.

This may be a foolish question, but I am curious, are the drawings that you have shown here done by hand on blank pages of the book, or are they printed there? I don't really have a frame of reference for this item, but it certainly is lovely

[Ron Weinand]

The whole book is HAND DONE on PARCHMENT and all pages shown are in the book. The printing and original art work was done by the students and presented to Ley on his visit on his birthday and the date is in the front of the book. A question that the veteran couldn't answer was did the book come out of the school or out of Ley's home, he couldn't remember.
