Harcourt, Brace, 1956., 1956. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/Dust Jacket Included. NAP, assumed first printing. Not paginated, lovely color ills., oversize original green decorated cloth, dustjacket. Ex-school lib with a few stamps and spine sticker shadow - not as badly marked up as most. Pocket has been neatly removed from rear endpaper. Text has bright, very lightly worn cloth. Typical light signs of children's handling, edge-tears to a few pages. Glue shadows on endpapers from old mylar dj cover (covered by dj so not noticeable). The page tears have been properly repaired with archival glue and are not too noticeable. Dj in fresh mylar is price-clipped, has a couple of short tears, small chips to base of spine. This is the uncommon and better-quality H, B & W Library Binding edition. Hard-to-find book with very bright, fresh dj, better than most ex-lib copies. Good/VG. Scan of dj available.
