About this Item

143, [1] pages. Jacket folds out to "a wall size chart of the heavens" verso. Jacket rubbed and toned, not price clipped ($4.50). Light spotting along hinge of upper panel; interior unmarked. In the Note For The Third Printing the author states: "The warm reception accorded this book by my fellow star-gazers has made a third printing necessary less than two years after the first publication. This gives me an opportunity to correct a few statements which, in the light of new findings, are no longer accurate, and to emend a few errors." A pleasing early edition, from the author more widely known as co-author of the Curious George books. 11.25 x 8.5 inches.

Store Description

Since 1977 The Odd Book has bought and sold interesting books and ephemera... and some apparently not that interesting. We're a member of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of Canada, and thereby affiliated with the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. At the store in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and online since '98, Jim Tillotson (founder) and Jim Gow (proprietor) combine their years of experience and occasional stupidity to provide a pretty good place to browse. Thanks for stopping by, and don't hesitate to be in touch.
