What is a "hurt" book?
Known in the publishing industry as "hurts," hurt books are typically those with a bump or bend in the cover, pages printed correctly but bound crooked, pages miscut, etc. Hurt books are complete but have sustained a little damage so they cannot be sold as new.
How is this book hurt?
This book was miscut by the printer, causing a line of white space along the right margin. The intent of Bramcost's hurt book giveaways are to introduce vintage lifestyle enthusiasts to our books or new vintage genres readers may not have experienced before. Hurts are not available for resale. To keep our hurt book giveaways from being resold, a handful of pages are marked through with a yellow highlighter.

When does the giveaway end?

INFO: How to Unravel a Sweater to Recycle Yarn (Repurpose and Reuse)
The 1940s were a time of "make and mend" -- repurposing, recycling and reusing due to short supply. Recycling yarn reminds me of the 1940s way of life -- unravelling an unused or thrift store sweater to create new garments -- at a fraction of the cost of store bought yarn. I have linked a number of web sites below that show how to unravel. Try it for yourself!
