The Fossil Snake: L.M. Boston, 1976 First Edition Children’s Book
Price range: $38.00 through $42.88
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.
