Description
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers, 1979 This Hardcopy is issued without D/J. The boards are beautifully illustrated gloss paper, a three dimensional book. IT IS AS NEW. Christmas is a time for gathering together of families; for the reuniting of old friends; for the giving of gifts to those we love; and, above all, for celebrating the birthday of the Holy Child. It is a time for recalling old traditions, and for the creating of new ones -- making joyful memories to shine down the ensuing years like lighted candles in the heart. There are two Christmases, of course -- the secular one, with all the happy activities of the Yuletide season; and the religious one, a time of rejoicing anew each year in the timeless and eternal miracle of the birth of Christ. Tasha Tudor keeps both Christmases, and her beautiful, three-dimensional illustrations in this unique book are a gift of joy to all.. First American Edition. Hard Cover. As New/Issued No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Pictorial Paper-Covered Boards.
boards : Common term for the covers of a hardbound book.
jacket : Sometimes used as another term for dust jacket, a protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book
4to : Or quarto. A term used generally to describe the approximate size of a book, a book that is about 10" to 12" tall and roughly squarish in shape. The term is based on the size of paper traditionally used by book printers which has been folded and cut into 16 pages.
As New : "the book is in the same immaculate condition in which it was published. There can be no defects, no missing pages, no library stamps, etc., and the dust jacket (if it was issued with one) must be perfect without any tears." Condition definition from AB Bookman's Weekly.
