Description:
Dodd, Mead,, 1909.. hardcover. Collectable, acceptable. Original 1909 edition, first printing. Rated only "acceptable" condition primarily because textblock is separated from cover. This is a very large green cloth hardcover with paper paste-on illustration on front cover, pages are very heavy stock, illustration on every right-hand page, unpaginated. Cover and cover illustration are quite worn and soiled by use, but illustration (of boy on a swing) still cute; back cover has pencil scribble. No loose pages; a couple of illustrations have a little pencil marking; a few pages have minor fingerprint smudges. Pages with text and pages with illustrations are in rather nice condition.
