Hi!  This is my 1936 SHIRLEY TEMPLE "A GREAT BIG BOOK TO COLOR" COLORING BOOK Auction.  Most of my collection I purchased in the 70s, 80s, & 90s, but a few more in the early 2000s so even though I'm pretty sure this set is ORIGINAL, I'm not ruling out
REPRINT  because I'm not an expert, just a collector.
1936 SHIRLEY TEMPLE "A GREAT BIG BOOK TO COLOR" COLORING BOOK is UNCOLORED.  I believe there are 32 pages (I counted and recounted - got 32 twice, 29 once so we'll go with the 32) - all these pages are severely yellowed/discolored/stained from age (a few sample pages: Pics. 8 thru 12) - it is 85 years old!  I measured it 14x13 closed.  First page doesn't have a title on it (Pic.8) and I see no signs of a ripped out page - Last page doesn't indicate its the last page either (Pic.9) and again I see no signs of a ripped out page.
Front Cover - overall severe shopworn  (Pics.1 thru 4); it says to the left of Shirley's white collar "Authorized Edition" - below that on the lower left hand corner it says "No. 301, Copyright MCMXXXVI, The Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron, O., Made In U.S.A., Reg'd at Stationers Hall" (Pics.3,4).
Back Cover - identical to front cover without the wording - overall severe shopworn (Pics.5,6,7).
NOTE:  What is unique (in my opinion) about this Shirley Temple Coloring Book is that it is focused on Shirley Temple - where she works at the movie studio, some of her favorite toys, some of her costumes, etc.  Maybe there were more books, coloring books and paper dolls that also focused on the little movie star - I can't say for sure, but I thought this book was unique.
