#purchasetax

Make Your Own Farm One of the more difficult of the Puffin Picture Book series to find. In the main this was because this was classified as a toy, to cut and assemble, and so attracted Purchase Tax. As much as Allen Land protested he had to give in and the books were overstickered with Purchase Tax labels. Naturally booksellers didn’t want to know so this was a commercial disaster, and very few were sold, hence their rarity today. #puffinpicturebook #purchasetax #makeyourownfarm #cutoutbook #rarebook #allenlane @penguinukbooks @penguincollsoc https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn-tZSHD38J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1inm57p366puu
