First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Laura James (Cover art); Anna Manhart (interior) (illustrator). First Edition. viii, 447pp. Folio size volume, with many illustrations. With marker-ribbon that admits to light to medium soiling and a short tear. Colophon page written by Gabe Huck. Decorative boards admit to light to medium rubbing in places on exterior, with several tiny worn through areas to extremities, too. This particular wear isn't terribly offensive. Alas, someone outdid themselves and used gray duct tape to "repair" the front hinge and clear tape to "repair" the back hinge, both of which apparently had been completely broken. The repair is amateurish and barely functional, such that some care in handling will be required during use. Several early leaves admit to noticeable creasing, and many other pages admit to some light soiling and a few tiny spots to lower portions where many grab a hold of a page to turn it. In addition to the tape repair, the binding admits to being quite shaken, though this remains a serviceable copy. Please note, too, that the gilt on the edges of the pages admits to fairly heavy wear. Any prospective buyer may take solace in the fact that this scarce volume is greatly reduced in price because of the condition, along with the fact that it is still usable, and, finally, that it appears to have been "well loved," as some say.
