About This Item
London : Frederick Warne & Co., Ltd, 1968. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 48mo - over 3 - 4" tall. Kate Greenaway. A strong Very Good book, in a Very Good jacket. Kate Greenaway's Birthday Book, with Verses by Mrs. Sale Barker. All illustrations by Kate Greenaway. London: Frederick Warne & Co., Ltd, undated withing but for the 1968 birthday gift presentation inscription (scan) and the notation "Printed in Great Britain 42.1160". Hence, certainly not more recent than 1968, perhaps more vintage. 48mo (in this case, 4" x 4" x 1"), cream jacket illustrated in pink, green and black by Greenaway, buff cloth boards illustrated in red and green also by Greenaway, 125 numbered pages as well as a number of unpaginated lined or blank pages for notation and. of course, Greenaway's full-color, full-page illustrations, which are also unpaginated. A beloved tiny book apparently printed many times over the years, meant for the recording the birthdays and other pertinent information of the friends of the young owner. Nice Very Good example, not far at all from Near Fine, in a strong Very Good jacket, which has not been price-clipped. See all scans. Ships in a stout, protective new box, of course. L10
