Words of Comfort and Consolation - Scripture Gift Mission - Undated Antiquarian Booklet


An interesting recent addition to our stock is this tiny booklet of Bible quotations. Published by the Scripture Gift Mission, it is undated. Looking at the paper used for the pages, I would guess that it was produced during World War Two and was subject to the wartime economy measures in book production that were then in force, but that`s pure speculation. One possibility is that it was produced in such tiny form in order that soldiers could easily keep it in a uniform pocket, rather in the style of those Armed Forces Bibles one comes across now and again. But that`s me speculating once again !




This booklet is number 3612 in our listings and should appear online within twelve hours of this posting.
