$34.00
This is a “very good” or better vintage tan cloth-wrapped illustrated hardcover published in 1976 by Atheneum, 54 pages.
Tight, crisp binding, crisp unbumped board corners. No writing or tags, no loose, torn or folded pages. Block closes squarely and tightly.
Matching vintage dust wrapper is not price clipped, showing original publisher’s price of $4.95 inside upper front flap. No significant flaws, no marks, no tears. Some edge wear, most pronounced on back cover and along back cover flap fold edges and corners, some chipping present there.
Overall, a very pleasing vintage copy, loaded with period styled art.

Nancy Willard “Gutenberg’s Gift” 1995 Factory sealed Pop-up book
$86.00
"Gutenberg's Gift", by Nancy Willard, illustrations by Bryan Leister, published by Harcourt Brace in 1995.
A brand new book, still sealed from the publisher. I don't know, since it is sealed, but I would have to assume it is a first edition since it comes from the author's personal stock. This is a copy from the author's private collection from her studio work space! I live about an hour's drive from where Miss Willard's family home is a block away from Vassar College where she taught for decades. In June of 2019 I received a voice message from the late Miss Willard's husband saying that he had various titles remaining from the stock her publishers had given her over the course of her career when a book went to print. This is a gorgeous vintage pop-up in factory fresh condition and will make a wonderful addition to your collection or as a gift to that aspiring book lover and collector in your life! Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
