For sale is the book Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey illustrated by Donald McKay published by Thomas Y. Crowell in 1950, the twenty-fifth printing. It is signed by author Ernestine Gilbreth Carey on the front free endpaper.
\"Cheaper by the Dozen recounts the rollicking life of the Gilbreth household in early 20th‑century New Jersey, where pioneering efficiency experts Frank and Lillian raise twelve children. Through sibling‑narrated episodes, family adventures, pranks, and experiments in “scientific parenting” unfold with warmth and humor.\"
\"The Cheaper by the Dozen movies(starting in 1950) are all loosely based on the semi-autobiographical 1948 novel by brother and sister duo Ernestine Gilbreth Carey and Frank Gilbreth Jr. recounting their experience growing up in a house with 12 children. The novel is effectively a collection of short stories paying homage to the author\'s late father, deriving the book’s title from one of his favorite jokes; when asked why he had so many kids, Frank Gilbreth Sr. would often respond “Well, they come cheaper by the dozen, you know.” The two siblings would go on to publish a sequel, Belles on Their Toes, in 1950, continuing the saga of their lives after the death of their father.\"
