New York: Parent's Magazine Press, 1980 Willy and the good guys take on Sneaky Weasel and the weasel baseball team. The illustrator and the writer claim to have met at a masquerade where he came as a giant rabbit and she came as Alice in Wonderland. Together they created Rotten Ralph and both went on to create many more books. However, even though she claims to live in Oregon with her husband and parrot, I note Gantos last book is about twins and human taxidermy and it is well known that Nicole Rubel was an identical twin, so I'm sure they must have been romantically involved. Anyway, this is who they were before they created A Cowgirl Named Ernestine or I am Not Joey Pigza. The book has fairly severe corner and spine top and tail bumps, but the interior is pristine and it's a first edition, first printing with full number line.

Madeira Park, B.C.: Lost Moose, 2010 First edition, first printing, full numberline, with creasing to back cover, otherwise very nice. The book appears to be SIGNED by the author. I suggest this because it is signed in an authorly way lower right half-title, and the words look more like the author's name than that of the photographer or the illustrator! No guarantees, I'm afraid, but really, owner's sign on upper right hand corner, and there is room there. No other writing. Very attractive and interesting cookbook, as stated on the back cover, "more than a book of recipes, this is a loving portrait of a neighbourly and resourceful community and a fascinating introduction to the foodways of the north." Beautiful photographs!
