London: Heinemann, 1957. First UK edition.
Would be fine if not for a touch of edgewear to spine tips and bottom rear board, some staining to front and rear free endpaper, and very small spot to front cover. Very good unclipped dust wrapper is torn in two spots (1/2" and 1"), is slightly yellowed and very slightly rubbed, plastic covering peeling in a few spots. Overall a very presentable copy of an early Capote.

Oxford: Oxford at the Clarendon Press, 1964. Later Printing. A fine copy in dust wrapper with little spine toning but is otherwise fine.

First edition. A picture book with many fold-out pages.
Inscribed and signed by Carle with an original 3" X 4" drawing of the moon.
A fine copy without any tears to the fold-outs in a similarly fine dust wrapper. An uncommon first in nice condition, signed copies are scarcer yet.
