Stated first edition. Presumed first printing as there are no other printings (or editions) on the publication page. Book is in excellent condition. Only condition fault we found was deep shadow on inside cover and adjacent endpaper. Dj has some small tears at edges and upper flap, shelf wear and a stain in the top corner area of the front dj cover. Famous mid 20th century cartoonist's visons of children's vision of glory. Funny, and, although not macabre, somewhat reminiscent of Charles Addams.
