About This Item
New York, New York: Harper & Row, 1976. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. McCully, Emily Arnold. A "joyfully inventive poem" that the late poet wrote for her own children, brought to life for new generations with the charming illustrations of Emily Arnold McNully. Unpaginated. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing, from 1976, this hardcover book has pictorial boards with a design that matches the accompanying DJ. Because it is an EX-LIB copy, with usual stamps & markings in front matter, one stamp to bottom outside page edges, it is downgraded to VG. Very clean, with the occasional light smudge from handling. Binding strong & straight, pages white & unmarked, colors bright. Because it has been protected under clear library mylar (which shows some rubbing), the price-clipped DJ is Near Fine: bright & colorful with NO fadingY just the slightest edgewear (teeny chip, 1/8" tear). Old library call number carefully removed from spine: looks lovely! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship next very business day.
