Some have the handwritten names written by children in the front end pages, and some have underlines or children's scrawls and some are in fine condition with no marks.

    Mein Alefbeys
    by Devoira Tarant. Cooperative book league of the Jewish section of the International Workers Order 1938. Scarce title. Only
    5000 copies printed
    . This particular title is interesting in that in that it was printed by avowed Yiddish secularists where Hebrew words are spelled in a way to mask the Hebrew origin (e.g.
    שבת
    is spelled
    שעבעס
    , and
    אלף-בית
    is spelled
    אלעפבייס
    .)
    “
    The International Workers Order (IWO) was an insurance, mutual benefit and fraternal organization founded in 1930 and disbanded in 1954 as the result of legal action undertaken by the state of New York in 1951 on the grounds that the organization was too closely linked to the Communist Party. At its height in the years immediately following World War II, the IWO reached nearly 200,000 members and provided low-cost health and life insurance, medical and dental clinics, and supported foreign-language newspapers, cultural and educational activities. The organization also operated a summer camp and cemeteries for its members”
