Paperback, folded chapbook. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Direct reprint in full color of the original antique book (illustrator). Modern reprint, no edition stated. 28 pages including covers. Paper / Soft cover edition in very good, like new condition. Firmly readable. Flex covers, staple bound chapbook style, a sturdy book. Overall great reprint copy, a delightful book with minimal wear. General bookshop wear, may have some slight wear to edges and spine, stored flat. Would make a great gift for the fan in your life, even if that's you. Direct reprint from the original antique children's book. It's original format was an accordion style, double sided frieze. Planographic or lithographic illustrations on paper were adhered to buckram cloth and then folded into itself. This book has been reformatted to a regular book style.There was no page for the the letter "W" as this book is of French origin and there were no words in the French language begin with a "W". The publisher has added a "W" to the book to match the other pages as even today there are very few words in French starting with that letter. The French call it a "double-v" not a "double-u".It's charming and wonderful, and can be enjoyed by children, linguists and artists of all ages. You'll notice that some of the illustrations are colored in, which are original to the source text. Clean and unmarked. Text is in French and English, modern undated edition. A true delight. 24 p. Book.

Condition: Very good condition. Charming children's picture blocks with color animal pictures. The chromolithographic illustrations mounted on wooden blocks, depicting various animals, including a kangaroo. Each animal block has descriptive text on the verso. The text for the kangaroo reads, "The Kangaroo comes from Australia. By the help of its tail and enormous hind legs it is able to escape by terrific bounds when pursued". With six columns and four rows, for a total of 24 animal blocks. The illustration of the dog is the German spitz; other animals include the antelope, camel, bison, duck, elephant, flamingo, goat, hippo, ibis, jaguar, lion, monkey, newt, ostrich, porcupine, quail, rhino, tiger, underwing moth, vulture, wolf and zebra. In the original box, with chromolithographic illustration of lions in front of a cave, and 'Germany' stamped at the lower right corner. Edges of box slightly rubbed, a few splits.
Condition: very good. London, Dean & Son [c1905]. Folio (37x26cm), covers and ten colour pages by Frank M. Barton mounted on card and bound as a concertina. Someone has taken Dean's declaration "untearable" as a challenge and managed to put a two inch tear into the top of one card, without loss; in all rather good. A delightfully large celebration of transport and movement with a bas relief front cover. Only a couple of letters display some clutching at straws - Q is for quickness and Z is for zebra cart. No book is ever debased by the presence of zebras. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.
