Description:
London: Collins, 1955 Book. Illus. by Shirley Hughes. Very Good. Hardcover. First ( No Additional printings). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Original bright red cloth on boards. Gift notation, with no other writing and no damage. DJ flap, List of Contributors, laid in. Articles by 27 writers, suggesting how and where to have fun and learn something. No thumb smudges, scribbles, or tears suggests to me that the owner was either not a reader or not a "going concern," since either of these types would have received inspiration and ideas for any number of activities or projects from these pages. A book I would have devoured as a boy. 352 pp. Small ding to top edge of cover..
