About This Item
New York: Knopf, 1961. Hardcover. Very Near Fine. The only noticeable flaw is a 2 1/2" x 4" card taped to the last blank page of the book in a Near Fine, price clipped dust jacket.. 8vo. 119 pp. with whimsical black and white and color illustrations by Nancy Ekholm Burkert throughout. Later, but early, printing of one of Dahl's classics. Bound by The Book Press, with a four [4] line colophon, this is the issue in light blue boards with a darker quarter spine and a nine [9] digit SBN [precursor to the ISBN] on the rear jacket panel. Front flap of the dust jacket is clipped, so no original price appears there. No date on title page. Copyright page dated only 1961. Colophon has four [4] lines and says "Bound by The Book Press, New York" which is indicative of this being the second printing. Dahl's first children's book. The rear dust jacket flap of this copy mentions Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, making this edition from 1972 or so [although the only date printed in the book is 1961]. A very nice copy of an early edition of the children's classic.
