About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company (The Children's Hospital Medical Center), 1966. Pictorial cloth. Near Fine/Very Good +. H.A. Rey. The 1966 stated 1st printing of the last book published in the remarkable "Curious George" series during the lifetimes of the great Margaret and H.A. Rey. A clean, very sharp copy to boot, with the publisher's original $3.25 price intact at the dustjacket's upper front flap and the lower flap clipped (as with seemingly every copy of the 1st edition). Tight and Near Fine in a crisp, VG+ example of the original, completely unrestored dustjacket, with very light creasing along the panel edges and just a touch of very faint chipping at the spine ends. Octavo, wonderfully illustrated in rich color by H.A. Rey himself.
