Description:
COLLINS, Suzanne. Gregor the Overlander. NY: Scholastic [2003]. 8vo, [viii] 311pp. purple quarter-cloth stamped in bronze with aquamarine boards stamped in gold. Aquamarine endpapers. A fine copy in original color pictorial dust jacket. First edition. The first book by the NY Times best-selling author of The Hunger Games, and the first book in the Underland chronicles. When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where giant spiders, rats, and cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it – until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance. Reluctantly, Gregor embarks on a dangerous adventure that will change both him and the Underland forever.

Random House, 1970. Hardcover. Very Good. H. B. Vestal. This is the RARE Landmark title. This is the last book in the wonderful Landmark series and normally found to be the most difficult to find to complete your collection! Hardback Pictorial Cover Book is in Very Good condition with a tight binding and mostly clean crisp pages. There is a pocket from "Texhoma Public Library" inside the back cover with a number written in small 4 digits in the upper right hand corner. On the last blank end page there is a check out sheet that shows the book was only checked out TWICE! There are two library stamps in the book and two library seals, but these are minor. The four small digit number is also written at the bottom of the title page. A couple of stray marks in the back of the book index, but that is it! This is really a nice book with a tight binding and clean crisp pages! Outside pictorial covers show some minor corner wear and some library numbers at the bottom of the outside spine. There is one minor spot to the top of the outside page ends- shelf wear and this is minor. The back cover is nice. Tough book to find and complete your collection! Overall Nice!

New York: William Morrow & Company, 1956. First edition. 8vo, 254pp. Publisher's pink cloth with black decoration and lettering in in jacket with illustration by Beth and Joe Krush. Very good, slightly cocked with some light soiling and bumping to edge of rear board and corners. Jacket has shallow chipping at spine ends and corners, rubbing along folds, and wrinkling to rear panel. Original price of $2.75 intact. Cleary's scarce 7th book for juveniles, published the year after Beezus and Ramona. The fact this novel, with its period themes of innocent adolescent romance, is still in print today is a testament to the relatability of Cleary's young characters through universal feelings and emotions.

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear.
