These appear throughout the 208 pages of text in both full-page, full-color & smaller pen-and-ink drawings. This is the FIRST EDITION, First Printing from 1989, with full number line. It is an Ex-Lib copy, with the usual stamps & markings in front matter, rear endpapers, & top outside page edges.

Interior clean with light surface soiling to outside page edges. Binding strong & straight. Old gift inscription on ffep, else unmarked. The unclipped DJ is downgraded to Good due to significant spine fading & minor edgewear all around, especially at both ends of spine & corners. Old library mylar has been removed & replaced with brand new! DJ had been taped to inside both covers, so there is some tearing there from where it was removed.Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping if ordered by 2 pm weekdays (PST); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next day. SORRY: book is too large for expedited domestic or any international shipping due to postage costs.
