About This Item
Alfred A. Knopf, 1962. First Edition. Hardcover. Oblong, about 10-1/4 by 7-3/4 inches. 'With Musical Themes By Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart' -- from the cover. Library binding edition, with illustrated boards. Illustrations in color. Also issued in a trade edition bound in yellow cloth with dust jacket. First edition (first printing). Library binding but not an ex-library copy, thus uncommon. No dust jacket, as issued. Some wear to spine ends and corners, and one corner lightly bumped, thus very good.
