Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Bird 1979 First edition vintage paperback
$20.00
“Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Bird” by Frank Thomas, published by Pinnacle Books in 1979.
This is a “near fine” to “fine” vintage paperback with the only sign of wear being a faint crease on the front cover running parallel to the spine.
Amazing – I have seen books on Barnes and Nobles’ shelves which are not as nice as this.

Will ship carefully packaged.

Binding is tight, not cracked or rolled. Text block edges lightly tanned, but internally the pages are bright.

Front cover relatively free from creasing, back cover has some light crease toward outer edge (see accompanying images).
Overall, a very pleasant, special volume. Sure to make a special gift for the Miss Marple / Christie / Poirot fan in your life! Perhaps you!

Nancy Willard “Gutenberg’s Gift” 1995 Factory sealed NOS Pop-up book
$89.00
"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!
