The Wind in The Willows 1983 Kenneth Grahame Illustrated by Val Biro Vintage hardcover British printing
$28.00
This is a “very good plus” or better vintage hardcover in pictorial paper wrapped boards, published in 1983 by St. Michael, unpaginated. Illustrated by Val Biro.
The binding is crisp, hinges tight. No loose, torn or folded pages, no writing. Board corners are not bumped, spine tail might be just slightly so, hard to tell. Perhaps a smidge of a little surface wear in a place or two on the glossy boards, but nothing I can call out. Original store price sticker in British pounds on lower front cover corner.
Really nice vintage story book!
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

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.
