1. I have two books looking for a home

As I'm getting up there in years I decided some time ago to start divesting myself of possessions. I'd rather see some of these things go to folks who could appreciate them. Among the items are two books related to Appalachia and of particular interest to anyone who appreciates short plays and writing.

The first book, published in 1928, is titled Kentucky Mountain Fantasies: Three Short Plays for an Appalachian Theater by Percy MacKaye. Still in its original binding and has some nice woodcuts throughout.

The second book is a library discard but in good shape and in its original binding. Carolina Folk-Plays is a collection of short plays by various authors and edited by Frederick Koch. Published 1924. Includes notes on folk theater, b&w photographs and woodcuts.

I would be happy to send these to an interested party but not to someone who just wants to sell them. I could do that myself. So if either or both of these volumes interest you, please pm me and I'll be happy to pass them along at no charge.
