“The Magician’s Cloak” Vintage children’s hardcover Illustrated by Dorothea Cooke First edition
$34.00
This is a “very good” vintage hardcover in blue cloth wrapped boards, published in 1938 by Henry Holt, containing four short children’s stories, 45 pages.
First edition (as per McBride’s identification guide, since no additional printings are indicated, it is a first as per Holt’s practice for the time period).
Gutters and hinges are intact, not cracked. Aside from a neatly penned gift inscription, no writing. No loose, torn or folded pages. End papers are tanned, page edges just a hint so.
The original matching dust wrapper has losses at the edges of the front board and spine edges. Tanning and scuffs evident. Original publisher’s price of $1.75 inside front flap. Flap fold corners are chipped, general edge wear overall. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.

The Motion Picture Chums War Spectacle 1916 First edition Last book of the series Extremely scarce title Antique children’s series book
First edition, identified by the copyright page lists and also series books lists in the back of the book. Solid binding, no writing or marks aside from a name carefully penciled on the front free end paper. No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are bumped, more so on the bottoms, some minimal wear to the cloth on the corner tips, not worn through. Spine head and tail bumped, but cloth is not frayed. The cloth wrapping is a little rippled on the front board above the title, and their is a triangular section on the upper portion of the back board where it is floating from the underlying board. Lower corner of back board has what looks to be remnants of the dust jacket adhered to it. Not quite perfect, but still very pleasing copy of a rather scarce final title in this early Stratemeyer Syndicate series. See accompanying images for full condition details.
