Beschreibung

First of this edition. The original edition was published twenty years earlier in 1938 by Oxford University Press. On the front flap of the dust jacket it states 'Henry Z. Walck, Inc. successor to Oxford Books For Boys And Girls.' On the copyright page it states 'First published 1958.' You can see the green covers in the photos. The red lettering on the spine is nicely bright. There is some wear at the bottom edge of the spine. Some color fade at both the top and bottom edges of the spine. The cover edges look pretty good, though the bottom one has some browning of the green and the rear bottom one has one very small spot of rub-through. The middle page edge has a few spots of soiling. The bottom page edge has a long brown stain which spilled over onto the actual pages, particularly the early ones (contact me to see photos). The book is square. The spine has a little bit of jiggle in it, but the book is very solidly bound with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. Each of the inside covers has a reinforced binding. The reason for the only Fair rating is the soiling, tan spots on the title page and the first ten pages of text. After that the pages are clean, only a tiny sliver of a tan spot off their bottom edges. I didn't see any creasing on any of the pages. There are no markings. There is one attachment, a small circular gold sticker, off the bottom edge of the front inside cover. It says Creative Playtime, West Hartford Conn.' There are no other attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. That tan spot on the front cover is similar to the kind of spots on the early pages. There is a vertical crease on the spine, also small losses at both of its top and bottom edges. The flaps are in solid condition. The front one has several of those tan spots. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. I'm listing this book because it is something the classic children's book. The Oxford original is quite expensive. I've priced my book at a sharp discount to the next least expensive of this 1958 edition.
