    Description

    1936 registration booklet for Cleveland Ohio's Centennial Celebration the Golden Book of Cleveland
    and the original paper sleeve
    both pieces are in vg condition ...the booklet has had some of the gold rub off and you can see the green paper of the booklet
    the sleeve has the top corner missing.
    to celebrate they created the GOLDEN BOOK OF CLEVELAND and was stated to be the world's largest book.
    it was 5 ft x 7 ft
    it weighed over 2 tons
    it had 6000 pages and room for 4 million signatures
    this small booklet was a mini replica of that book and would permit the bearer to have their name printed in this historical document
    The thing is.....there is NO Golden Book.
    No one seems to know whatever happened to the giant book.
    It has become a local NE Ohio legend, existing only in the minds of those who remember a giant book the size of a mattress that has disappeared from the face of the earth???
