Nancy Willard “A Visit to William Blake’s Inn” First British edition 1981 hardcover
$56.00
“A Visit to William Blake’s Inn”, by Nancy Willard, illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen, published in 1981 by Methuen’s Children’s Books in London.
First edition, second printing before publication.
Large 10 x 11″ hardcover with brown paper boards over a tan cloth spine, heavy semi-glossy pages, 45 pages.
This is a “very good” vintage book with with the only flaw to speak of being the tale of the spine is bumped.
The vintage dust jacket shows the original publisher’s price of 7.95 sterling inside the front flap. A little edge wear in places, but overall a very pleasing vintage wrapper, now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
Ms. Willard was awarded the John Newbery Medal Award for “William Blake’s Inn” and wrote more than 65 other books including the award winning Anatole trilogy. She passed away in 2017.

Illustrated Children’s Western “Wyatt Earp” [c.1956] Like new!
$22.00
"Wyatt Earp" by Philip Ketchum, published circa 1956 by Whitman Publishing Company.
Octavo, glossy coated pictorial wrap around boards, green tinted text block edges around, two color chapter headings along with two color full page illustrations, seemingly one per chapter by Robert Doremus, 282 pages. This is an exceptional copy for one of these Whitman Books published at this time. I would grade it at "very good +" or better, which typically would not be that unusual, but for these books it is very much so. They were made very cheaply and were rather delicate. They did not fair well if exposed to the sun as the glossy coating would get brittle, discolor and lift. Typically also, the spines would crack and split. This book is wholly intact, the coating is complete, the spine nor hinges are not cracked, the text block closes tight and square, the tinted edges are relatively uniform in color, showing no signs of rubbing from use. There are four small surface scuffs to the edges on the bottom (see accompanying images). A hint of wear at the board corner tips and some slight chipping at the spine head and heel edges at the corners. A really, really nice example of a classic children's western published during the pinnacle of the Western in America! A wonderful time capsule. Will ship to you carefully packaged.
