New York, NY: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.. Very Good. 2007. Second Printing. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in green cloth, with giltstamping and a color, pictorial paste-down on the upper cover and gilt stamping to the spine, in a very nice dust jacket with light edge-wear. There are a few small spots of light wrinkling to the upper cover. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with color illustrations. There is a CD inset into the lower cover. This book is signed/inscribed by Lenny Lipton and signed by Pater Yarow on the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .

The book was much neater than I thought it would be based on the seller's description. I had no idea it would contain a cd of the song (performed by Peter Yarrow and his daughter), and there was some really interesting background information on the genesis of the song and the possibility of there being a "real" Land of Honalee. As a grown-up collector of children's books, I was thrilled about this one!
