1978 Harcourt Voyager Paperback In Very Good Minus Condition Due To Bookplate And A Stain To Upper Front Corner Which Persists Throughout. Clean And Crisp Otherwise. Harriet Pincus, The Illustrator, Contracted Polio At The Age Of Sixteen. This Was Her First Illustration Assignment. According To Marjorie Ingall, "Pincus¿ Illustrations, Frankly, Are Hideous¿ But Also Alluring! One Critic Compared Her Work To That Of Cartoonist R. Crumb, And Noted The ¿Whimsical Grump¿ In The Characters¿ Faces. I Think Her Pictures Are Sendakian, But Way Less Cute.".

About the Author
CARL SANDBURG (1878–1967) was twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize, first in 1940 for his biography of Abraham Lincoln and again in 1951 for Complete Poems. Before becoming known as a poet, he worked as a milkman, an ice harvester, a dishwasher, a salesman, a fireman, and a journalist. Among his classics are the Rootabaga Stories, which he wrote for his young daughters at the beginning of his long and distinguished literary career.

Store description
I am a book lover and collector with a literary education (which means I have not read Ulysses, but I have taken classes on it). I am a packrat and aficionado of fine and serviceable used items in the belief that it is time to slow down production and slow down our lives in order to appreciate and share that which already exists.

Terms of sale
I will search out used books which have value, be it intrinsic, symbolic,
aesthetic or amusement, describe them and their condition to the best of my
ability, price them fairly and ship them promptly, carefully packaged, as a rule
by Canada Post. I will accept returns in accordance with the policies of ABE
Books.
This is a hobby business that is cheaper than skiing, and I will run it 'until
all the money is gone' as the farmers say. After that, I will have to switch to
collecting match book covers (no offence to those who do). Penny Clipperton,
