About This Item
New York: Random House, 1955. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Fine with a touch of shelf wear, otherwise bright and clean inside and out. In a very good dust jacket with mild wear to the extremities and some light staining to the reverse, only visible on the exterior at two small areas of the white flaps. Meets the first state requirement of 10 titles listed on rear jacket panel from "Horton Hears a Who!" to "Mulberry Street." Price is clipped but "$2.95" in pencil (faded and obviously old) is written below the clipped corner. This is virtually certain to mean the dust jacket is the first state, with the $2.50 price having been clipped by the bookseller and $2.95 (which was printed on the later second state dust jacket) added by them in pencil. A very attractive copy of the first edition.
Synopsis
On Beyond Zebra! is an illustrated children's book by Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. This book fits into the genre of literary nonsense. The young narrator, not content with the confines of the ordinary alphabet, invents additional letters beyond Z, with a fantastic creature corresponding to each new letter. The creatures include favorites such as the Floob-Boober-Bab-Boober-Bubs, large buoyant heads which float serenely in the water.
