The Adventures of Pinocchio Tale of a Puppet

This is the First Edition of this publication by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Books, therefore, is a First Thus. There is an inscription to a relative on the half-title page which seems to be in the same hand as the translator, M. L. Rosenthal, who has signed this volume on the title page. The rust colored paper boards show a bit of fading at 1/4 inch of the bottom edge, and the spine of the dust wrapper is also sunned-discolored. The dust jacket also shows a bit of foxing on the inside of the cover. However, the text pages, 254 including the Afterword, are clean and bright. The illustrator has provided mostly black-and-white images for this volume but there are also three double page color images included. The boards show a bit of edge wear at the bottom, and a nick or two to the dust jacket is also noted.
