Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Vera Bock (illustrator). 1st Edition. 61 pp. No Date; characteristically, a reprint. presumably, of the only, First Edition. 10 red figure-over-gold background illustrations (6 appearing on the jacket and book cover itself, for example, Paul Revere on his "Midnight Ride", Little Bo Peep, ) decorating text. Dustwrapper and book have identical design, grid of 6 squares, illustrated with images representing the poems with red over gold, or gold over red, figures; Title lettering in white superimposed upon a 5/8" band of dark green across upper middle front cover. Dustwrapper price-clipped with micro chip to surface red at lower right front cover corner; small 1/8" open tear at gutter lower left corner front cover and micro ruffling across spine end; 5/8 x 1/16" missing bit at rear cover lower left corner and on lower edge; micro tear at top right front cover corner: describes worse than it is, but there you have it: essentially Fine with cosmetic flaws and NO fading to spine or covers, like book itself, appearing fresh and newish. Only peccadillo with book itself is tiny chips at lower spine corners, revealing gray beneath missing white bits of surface at those corners: still nugatory. Strong sewn binding; corners sharp (NO bumps or curls); virtually no rubbing wear (dustwrapper did its job); NO previous owner names. Clean text. Arguably, in Gift-Giving Condition.
