1928 classroom sample booklet for Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia and National Teachers’ Service, published by F. E. Compton & Company of Chicago. Softcover magazine-style booklet measures approximately 10" x 7.5".

Overall, very good for age with expected handling wear. Covers show light edge and corner wear, a bit of surface rubbing, and small creases at the extremities. Interior pages are clean and legible with mild age toning. Staples show some typical rust, but binding remains secure. No major tears or writing noted. See pictures for further details on condition.
