"Ripley's Believe it or Not!" by Robert Ripley - Paperback - Published in 1943 by Pocket Books - 226 pages (with numerous black & white illustrations including many sports stars) - Good condition. Ripley's Believe it or Not! began as a daily syndicated newspaper feature in the 1920s and continues in a number of mediums to this day. At its peak Ripley's Believe it or Not! attracted more than 80 million readers a day. There are many current TV shows who have emulated the content of this popular feature and present natural, paranormal, scientific and other oddities. There is some definite edge and corner wear, some paper loss near the top right corner of the cover (see the scan), and there is a name written in red ink on the top of the title page, but this over 80-year-old paperback is intact and still in very readable condition. No collection of Ripley's Believe it or Not! books is complete without this one. Check out the scan for the covers and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappoint
