Intertwines magic, math, number play, dark themes......used as a school textbook at one time. Many images and words that conjure up a BOCesque vibe.

Definitively something very creepy about this book, especially the cover, "Childcraft" - Love it! Boring everything has to be so PC these days.

Very good find, straight out of the BoCwarts curriculum.

Love it!,
Can you tell us which volume it is? I'd love to get it for kiddos in my family...for them to learn the essentials!

Wow, very cool!!

What's the title and ISBN? I'd like to see whether I can find it too. I love the optimism of that era.

aww dude, thats just lush.

Why does that make me feel all nostalgic when i am 100% sure we never used it? This is the scary shit that BoC have tapped in to. Its like fucking voodoo :P

Would love to see some hi-res scans of the nice artwork bud.

I am immensely happy that you managed to score this, however.....given the current BoC frenzy......your success signals the end of any chance of us scoring a similar book on eBay without being fisted :D

You owe us :P

i'm confused by the bottom of the 3rd picture....
They also said that six stood for the number of the parts of the human body--two arms, two legs, the head......
and..........?

the suspense is killing me, because i can't figure that one out....dong?
