Bambi by Salten, Felix - 1928

The First UK printing published by Jonathan Cape, London in 1928. The BOOK is in Very Good++ or better condition. A very slight lean with slight pushing and fading at the spine ends. Gilt titling remains bright. Original green boards with pictorial end-papers. Free from inscriptions and erasures. Small bookseller sticker to the rear lower pastedown. Light toning to the text-block. The WRAPPER is neatly price-clipped and is in Very Good+ condition. A little loss at the spine ends and mild edge-wear. Some toning and rubbing to the spine and edges. Two small closed tears to the front spine folds and some mild age related marking in places but less so than usually encountered. The wrapper looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Unattributed B/W illustrations at the beginning of every chapter. Translated from the German by Whittaker Chambers and with an introduction by John Galsworthy. The basis for the Disney classic adaptation. Very elusive title with such attributes. Collectible. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
