About This Item
HarperCollins Publishers, 1991. 25th Anniversary Reissue. Boards. Fine - As New/Fine - As New. A wonderful fine reissue of the 25th Anniversary Edition of this popular book, winner of the Caldecott Medal, signed by Maurice Sendak for Parrish Books on the half-title page. The story of Max, King of the Wild Things, continues on in this wonderful book. In fine unread condition in a fine dustjacket. While the true 25th Anniversary Edition was issued by Harper & Row in 1988 before it became HarperCollins in 1990, HarperCollins then reissued this later edition using the new engravings made from the original art in 1988 and the 25th Anniversary format. This edition features a copyright renewal date of 1991 on the copyright page along with "First Harper Trophy edition, 1984," "25th Anniversary Edition" and "HarperCollinsPublishers" is in lower case and partially in italics. The actual publication date is unknown. But a beautiful book and wonderful illustrations and an important scarce signature.
