New York: Golden Book, 1998. Hardcover. First edition. Very Good+ hardcover with light touches of shelf wear, rubbing to the spine ends, and a slight bow to the boards; no dj as issued. The binder did not get the endpapers flat and so there is a small crease at the point where the paper is slightly bubbled. All pop-ups, fold-outs, and medallions present, clean and good working order; the hanging medallion has a light crease. BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX.
