Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers. Very Good in Good dust jacket. (1942). Early Printing. Hardcover. Early Edition. Oblong green boards, not the cloth of the first edition. From the ads appearing at the rear dust jacket flap and rear panel, I would estimate this printing from circa 1949. Slight spine lean. Minor wear to the spine ends and lower corners. There are several very tiny white flecks to the dark color of both endpapers, along the upper edges. There may have at one time been some tape from an old mylar protector that partially stuck. There is a vertical crease, near the spine, that affects about half the pages. It is otherwise quite tight and without names or markings. The dust jacket has some minimal fading at the spine, a 3/8" chip to the lower spine end. There is a 1/2" tear with an associated crease to the upper, rear and another closed tear at the upper, front. The price is clipped at the upper, front flap with a price of $2.50 stamped just below the clip. Some even,… Read More

Description:
New York: William R. Scott, 1946. Very good.. First edition of this rare Margaret Wise Brown pseudonymous title, inscribed by illustrator Bill Ballantine, who he gave up his career to join the circus in 1947. Publisher William R. Scott was a small business owned by a couple who lived on a farm in Vermont; they used their barn as their book warehouse. Brown became their editor and principal writer in 1938. Despite receiving payments and royalties below the industry standard, Brown worked with them for years because she believed in their innovative approach to creative education books - which are now highly sought by collectors. This book shows what "fix-it men" do underneath the streets and in the air, with jolly illustrations by Ballantine. The same year this book was published, Ballatine traveled on assignment with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The next year, he quit publishing and literally ran away to the circus, becoming a professional clown. 9.5'' x 7.75''. Original orange… Read More
