Over at Cartoon Brew there's a link to guy who is selling repros of the 30's Saffield Flip the Frog Coloring Book. It might be of interest to know that this one differs somewhat from my copy and appears to be missing a number of images. I certainly sympathize with the nerve racking experience of scanning this fragile piece! Sadly, some images were colored in black crayon by some precocious depression era urchin and do not appear in the 'Your Movie Star' version. These may be lost for good. Here are a couple of examples:

I've got the longer version of the Flip book too, John, and I seem to recollect mine hasn't been crayoned in much. Maybe I can provide some more "missing" images.
Until today, I didn't realize there was more than one edition of the book, but the presence of "Your Movie Star" text on the cover clinches it!

Cool, is it okay if I post 'em here?
I've got both editions on my blog ComiCrazys.wordpress.com Unfortunately, the larger edition has a lot of coloring done, so I only posted the printed color versions and whatever wasn't crayon'd. Love your blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
