4 out of 5 starsThis was my favorite book growing up. and I treasure it. This is the same book I had except in a larger size. Like mine, it has the most beautiful illustrations . My girlhood copy was pretty worn. My mother threw it away and broke my heart. I was so glad to find the same edition and return it to my libarary. Now I am sharing it iwth my grandchildren.

Frequently asked questions
Do you entertain offers for your items?
Absolutely! We are willing to work with our customers whenever possible. While we do our best to price our items fairly and competitively, we will gladly look at any reasonable offer, particularly when a customer is buying multiple items. Simply contact us via Etsy prior to sale. Negotiations will not be made after a sale has gone through.
You sell vintage items - what does that mean?
All items in our shop are vintage, which in Etsy terminology means they are at least 20 years old. As such they are used and worn unless otherwise indicated. Please understand that while true defects will be noted, signs of age and wear are to be expected when purchasing vintage items.
DISCLAIMER & INDEMNITY
Everything we sell at Reconstitutions has been used previously, unless it's identified as "new old stock" or "new in box." Nevertheless, whether used or new, our products were manufactured by someone else, and we make no warranties, express or implied, as to the safety of any item. Vintage electric and electronic items should be inspected by qualified professionals. Other items, such as toys, likely will not meet today's safety standards, and are sold as collectibles, not for use by children. When making a purchase from Reconstitutions, you agree to conduct your own due diligence as to safety, will use the item at your own risk, and will hold Reconstitutions harmless in case of damage to property, injury or death.
My order has arrived damaged - what do I do?
We do our utmost best to package our items safely. We sell a large number of fragile items and have had very few issues of damage.
If an item does arrive to you damaged, you must keep the item and package as originally received and contact us immediately. If the packaging is not retained, no claim can be filed and no refund will be given. Photos and other documentation may be required from you to process the claim. Funds will be reimbursed when insurance claims are paid. 2020 update: Recently USPS has been asking for the damaged item and packaging to be brought to the nearest post office before a claim will be paid. Please be advised that the burden of this step will be your responsibility.
How do I return an item?
We accept returns only when the customer contacts us within 3 days of delivery and the return is postmarked no more than 7 days after the delivery date. Some items are non-returnable and will be marked as such in their listings.
Shipping is non-refundable and return shipping will be at the customer's expense. Items purchased with free shipping will have the actual shipping cost subtracted from any refund.
Items arriving back to us marked undeliverable, unclaimed or returned without prior notification will not be refunded and the buyer forfeits all payments made.
Items must be returned via the same shipping method as they were received, be well packaged, and signed delivery is required.
How and when do you ship items after purchase?
Unless specified otherwise in a listing, we ship all orders within 1 to 3 business days. We ship using USPS, UPS or Fedex and decide at the time of shipment based on price and the current performance of the carriers.
