Millions of Cats (Both the 1st State Book AND Dustjacket) by Wanda Gag - 1928

New York: Coward-McCann, Inc, 1928. Pictorial boards. Near Fine/Very Good. Wanda Gag. The 1928 1st edition, 1st issue (with "Jersey City Printing Co." present at the copyright page), in its elusive 1st issue dustjacket (with no printed text apart from the title and author). The book is surprisingly clean and has held up very nicely. Solid and Near Fine in its wonderful yellow, red and black pictorial boards. The fragile dustjacket, mirroring the book's cover art, shows very light chipping to the panel edges and the spine ends, and several small closed tears along the spine. Still though, it merits a solid VG, remains a significantly above-average example and is crisp and very presentable. Oblong octavo, both written and illustrated by Wanda Gag and universally considered one of the great triumphs of early 20th century children's literature.
