Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne - 1926: First Edition

True UK First Edition / First Printing

**A Lovely Original In Beautiful Condition**

Book Info: Winnie The Pooh, Methuen, London 1926: First Edition / First Printing. The book is bound in the original green cloth covers with nice bright gilt titles and decorations. This book presents beautifully, certainly one of the better examples i have encountered. Clean, bright and fresh covers showing almost no edgewear. The colour is perfect with no marks or blemishes and the spine hasn't darkened so holds it full colour well. The gilt is bright and sharp and overall the book looks lovely not showing a bit of its age. Internally the book is again very good+ with the original beige mapped endpapers as called for (changed to green for all later prints). There are No inscriptions just a faint price in pencil I didn't erase. The pages are pretty much immaculate except for a tear on one page, see photo. All illustrations in beautiful conditon and all gutters and margins tightly bound in. The book correctly shows one date of 1926 to the verso of the title page again showing this to be the true First Edition / First Printing. Beautifully illustrated throughout by E H Shepard. Quite simply a gorgeous book given it is nearly 100 years old and certainly up there as a higher grade example.

Dust jacket in beautiful condition.
