Doris's Very Endearing 1926 Memo Book with Hand-drawn Lines and Collected Addresses papier mache and cloth puppet including losing the patterned roofCan't resist a little thing like this. Great cover, including the very naively written MEMO BOOK, and then again over all those very aspirational graphite drawn, not quite straight lines on the first inside page, seemingly anticipating a series of memos written in very small lettering! Several pages more of never filled lines, which I find so hugely empathetic, as well as a number of (unlined) pages were filled with addresses and birthdays. 5 1 16" x
