Cox.  Mr. Cox was a United States Minister to Turkey who wrote not so much about his political work, but the diversions he found during the detail.  I believe this may be a first edition, but I'm not an expert on books by any means...just following clues.  Online samples are a Google search away if you care to read a bit.  If you'd like the 1887 edition for yourself, click on the photo or check out my eBay/Auctiva store at www.coolstuffifound.com.  I am starting it at just $9.95.

This is a program distributed to professional teachers who attended the 1929 Fayette County Teachers' Institute.  This is definitely a niche item, so we'll have to see if anyone out there is collecting old materials related to teachers and/or education.  This might also interest people who collect prgrams from various events.  I cannot imagine that there are many more of these circuating right now.  I will link the photo to my Auctiva/eBay store www.coolstuffifound.com in case anyone is interested in checking it (or anything else) out.
