About This Item
New York, New York: Quality Paperback Books Club (QPBC), 1999. Book Club Edition (BCE) . Soft cover. Fine. Rackham, Arthur. Collection of 53 fairy tales--some popular, some lesser-known--by the Grimm Brothers, with a delightful 30-page Introduction by artist, scholar, & Jungian psychoanalyst Estes, who explains the enduring legacy & value of fairy tales & why the original, "not-cleaned-up" tales are the best. This edition from 1999 was specially created as an offering of the Quality Paperback Book Club, bringing the extraordinary original illustrations of Arthur Rackham to new generations of readers young & old. Beside the cover illustrations, there is a full-color Frontispiece & 19 full-color, full-page glossy plates throughout the book, along with many more pen-and-ink drawings throughout the 326 pages. With French flaps that fold inward, this oversized softcover is in Fine condition: just a tad less perfect than a Brand new book! Only flaw is a tiny spot to outer fore edge pages. Otherwise, extremely clean & bright, binding strong & straight, pages creamy white. All illustrated pages are flawless; NO foxing or tanning anywhere. NO writing or underlining or highlighting; not ex-lib. Please see our photos--they show the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images! Photos & description copyright Gargoyle Books 2021.
