Description:
This is a "good plus" or better vintage hardcover in yellow cloth wrapped boards.No torn, folded, loose or significantly creased pages unless specified below. NOT ex-library. Will not contain underlining or highlighting unless called out below in item specifics.
First edition, published in 1933.
ITEM SPECIFICS: Binding is tight, not cracked. Cloth wrapped boards show fair amount of tanning, aging. Definite moisture exposure apparent along bottom front board and along first 3 dozen or so pages, with some light rippling to block pages. Spine head and tail edges are frayed as is lower front board corner. Aside from gift inscription neatly penned by Ms. Lathrop, and Ms. Cole's initials on FEP, no other writing. Book does show wear, but is unique in its provenance and is still quite quaint and pleasing.
A very exciting item for the collector of illustrated children's books!
