About This Item
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good DJ. First printing, very good + hardcover shows some light shelf wear and soil to covers, touch of soil at page edges and some other light trace wear, in very good + dust jacket (price at flap) that shows some light edgewear. 434 pages with a set of black & white plates. Still a pleasing copy of this "..revelatory, until now largely untold story of a lost world of the imagination--a world that existed for a few short years in the pulpy, brightly colored, boldly illustrated pages of little books sold for a dime at newsstands and candy counters across America.
