This is a "very good -" vintage hardcover in pictorial cloth wrapped boards with black-and-white illustrated glossy frontispiece published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1929.First edition.Solid binding, no writing or marks aside from a "32" carefully affixed to the front free end paper. Page 91/92 upper corner turned over, otherwise no torn, folded or loose pages. Damp stain to front upper corner of book, on front board and page edges. Board corners are bumped but with minimal wear to cloth. Pictorial decorations on the cloth on front board and spine are bright, yellow/tan color uniform all around - not sunned on spine.Matching dust wrapper shows this title as the last book in the list inside the front flap. Large losses at both bottom corners of front cover and bottom of spine. Edge wear along top with some closed tears and smaller losses. Damp stain along upper flap fold edge of back board. Spine somewhat tanned but titling and images still bright. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve for proper presentation.Not perfect, but still a really pleasing vintage copy with its cover, which are getting more scarce each passing year.Will make for a great gift for that special collector or perhaps an upgrade for your collection!
