First edition. 1993 Caldecott Honor Book! Following up on the success of their previous collaboration, The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, this award-winning duo created 10 new tales filled with humor and heart. With its unconventional page arrangement, and eclectic, frenetic mix of text and pictures, this delightful spoof has captured readers imaginations for nearly 30 years and influenced a generation of picture book authors. Copies signed by Lane Smith have grown quite scarce.

Hardcover 8vo, in brown buckram with gilt leather spine label. iv, [157]-279pp+ 7 plates labeled Plate V-XII ("inclusive"), 1887. Bound with 5 offprints extracted from "The Microscope" originally collected in seafoam green wrappers titled "Fresh Water Sponges" and containing: (1.) –What They Are Not. (2.) What They Are [June 1890, with plate] (3.) What They Are [July 1890, with plate] (4.) How to Find and Gather Them [Sept 1890] (5.) The Determination of Species [with diagram].
Appears to be signed twice, with "from Edward Potts" annotated in Potts' hand beneath the ownership signature of Mr. S. R. [Sherwood Raymond] Roberts on the front blank of the monograph and the first page of the offprints pamphlet. Roberts was a colleague of Potts' and prominent member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, known for his work in conchology and collection of Cypraeidae that rivaled Potts' collection of fresh water sponges (both of which were ultimately donated to the Academy). In Near Fine condition; a rare and exciting collection of works.

First edition. 2021 Newbery Honor Book! Henry Brown wrote that long before he came to be known as Box, he "entered the world a slave." Put to work as a child and passed down from one generation to the next — as property – he lost his wife and children when they were sold away out of spite. But Henry Brown found hope — and help —in the form of the Underground Railroad. And escaped enclosed in a box!

Condition of the book is Very Good Minus. The binding is straight and sound. Inside pages are complete and unmarked. The main condition issue is a bit of cloth loss at the bottom edge of the book's spine.
Condition of the dust jacket is Very Good Minus. The DJ is complete, not price clipped. It shows moderate wear to the edges and folds. The DJ is protected in a new mylar cover.

Maps/chasrts galore. Elsevier oceanography series; 24.. Volume 1 (24A) ISBN 0444417346 is entitled " Geology and Sedimentology".
