Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Before Charlie Brown, there was Skippy Skinner. Percy Crosby's comic strip ran from 1923 to 1945, earned him a fortune, inspired an Academy Award winning film, and lent its name to a peanut butter that Crosby fought in court for years. Crosby's own story ended tragically, but his scrappy philosopher of a boy remains the spiritual ancestor of Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes. This is Crosby's novel, illustrated throughout with his own ink and wash drawings. Grosset & Dunlap reprint edition, issued in the publisher's "Famous Stories for Young People" series. Copyright 1929. Hardcover in pictorial dust jacket. PUBLISHER: Grosset & Dunlap, New York (reprint of the 1929 Putnam first edition) CONDITION: - Dust Jacket: Good.

Shopbeschreibung

You're building something specific. Not just a shelf of books: a library with atmosphere. The kind of room that feels like it has a history before you walked into it. The problem is finding the real thing. The vintage market is full of book club editions dressed up as first printings, reprints with no dust jackets, and sellers who grade "Good" when they mean "survived a flood." It's time-consuming, confusing, and easy to overpay. That's where I come in. I'm Rob. I worked in the archive stacks at UW's Suzzallo Library. Gothic reading rooms, stained glass, the kind of place where books feel like they matter. I've been authenticating and grading vintage editions ever since. Now I spend weekends hunting first editions at estate sales across Northern California: literary horror, classic sci-fi, and Gothic fiction from the 1960s–1980s. The books that actually built the Dark Academia aesthetic, not the modern reprints cashing in on it. Every book in my shop has been verified for edition and graded honestly. Sometimes brutally. You'll know exactly what you're getting before it ships. Your order arrives wrapped in tissue paper with a wax seal sticker. Because the details matter, and you're not buying shelf filler. If you're building a library that looks like it belongs in a Victorian study instead of a big-box store, you're in the right place. Browse the collection.…
