About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1949. 1st edition. 1st wine paper over boards. VG/VG. Tasha Tudor. [32] pp. Paper label on front. Light rubbing at corners. A nearly perfect copy. The book shows no wear whatsoever. There is a contemporary shop label (Hermosa B Each, CA) inside the front cover. Light acidification to front and back endpapers masked by the dusk jacket. Dust jacket is lightly sunned and price clipped. 4-625 2.00 inked at top of dust jacket front flap. This may have come from the publisher when prices were raised from the original $1.50. We have seen others with the 2.00 added, but without the code. There is one small chip at the front top near spine. For the title and age, this is a FIINE copy to add to your collection of Tasha Tudor's works.
