Ancient House Press, 1995. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket Issued. Anne Wild color dragon "parts. CONDITION: What makes this book "AS NEW?" - the book has stapled "wraps" - sometimes the result of this can be little "pucker" marks at the spine. That's what this has - pale, but there. Doesn't hurt anything, tho. Another mystery, the first edition of this book (by Tarquin in the UK) is stated at 1980, but the Author's name has the date of 1995. Take your pick. Color patterns for the dragon parts. CONTENT: In this collection there are four magnificent dragons and a paper sculpture mobile of St. George and the Dragon, all in full colour. Fun to make and with lovely results. OH - ANOTHER ODDITY - it seems that these books can have as few as 2 Dragon Mobiles and up to 5 (as does mine). So check when buying.
