$24.00
A “very good” vintage hardcover in a matching “good plus” original dust wrapper published by Grosset and Dunlap in 1959.
Binding and hinges are crisp, with no writing or marks. The black tinting at the text block head has a little spotting, but fairly uniform with a little sunning at the spine. Upper board corners are crisp, lowers just slightly bumped. Front board decoration and spine titling is crisp and complete. Text block closes tightly. Spine head and tail edges lightly bumped.
Matching dust jacket has edge wear all around with the spine lightly sunned and some chipping at head and tail. Will arrive in a removable archival sleeve.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
Using Carpentieri’s guide, I am able to identify this copy as what he labels a “1959C-31”, meaning it is the third printing of 1959 and the 31st printing of the book. The first printing was in 1942. This edition still features the original first edition cover artwork.

$26.00
A "very good" vintage hardcover in a matching "good" original dust wrapper published by Grosset and Dunlap in 1948.
Binding and hinges are crisp. The black tinting at the text block head somewhat sunned at outer edge. The board corners are fairly crisp with the front upper lightly worn. Front board decoration and spine titling is crisp and complete. Text block closes tightly. Spine head and tail edges lightly bumped. An X-mass inscription is penciled on front free end paper and a name on back one, other wise no writing. A handful of page corners are creased. Matching dust jacket shows heavy wear with large loss at the tail of the spine. Also some loss along the bottom back and at the flap folds. Will arrive in a removable archival sleeve. See images for complete condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged. Using Carpentieri's guide, I am able to identify this copy as what he labels a "1948A-15", meaning it is the first printing of 1948 and the 15th overall printing of the title. The first printing was in 1937. This edition features the original text and cover artwork.
