Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook.
[Education] Montessori, Maria. Dr. Montessori’s Own Handbook. New York:
Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1914.
8vo.; blue cloth, stamped in gilt; dust-jacket.
First American edition of the third book by the Italian physician and educator, a
handbook on her educational philosophy which remains remarkably relevant after more
than a century. The book contains “a full and clear account of the method, and includes a
description of the Montessori apparatus, with instructions for its use...It is meant as a
supplement to ‘The Montessori Method’ – not to take its place in any sense, but merely to
add such information as will aid in the daily classroom or in home classes” (dust-jacket).
A foundational title; scarce in jacket.
