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.
