Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint. An attractive copy. Grosset and Dunlap did not state edition. This is clearly a vintage copy, but on the back jacket flap another series is listed, and the last title on the list was published in 1955, so that is probably the date of this printing. The rather goofy jacket is intact, with chipping, especially at the top of the spine. There is a small water stain at the top of the front flap, but the binding was not affected. The boards are clean and the pages are not tanned at all. The illustrations are snappy and stylish. Most of all I love the rocket-themed endpapers. There are no inscriptions or signs of prior use. Fast shipping, with tracking number provided.
