(price-clipped) [lower corners bumped with slight exposure of boards, a little damage to both ends of spine; the jacket is heavily worn along the spine, with bits of paper loss at both ends, a few other small edge-chips]. (cartoon drawings with colored highlights) An ode to…the "Fix-It Men" -- the plumbers, telephone linemen, road repair crews, carpenters, steamroller drivers -- who keep our infrastructure together (although I'm sure nobody called it that in 1946).

Condition: Very good minus. First Edition. Rare signed first edition of this rare Margaret Wise Brown pseudonymous title, inscribed by illustrator Bill Ballantine, who he gave up his career to join the circus the next year in 1947. Publisher William R. Scott was a small business owned by a couple who lived on a farm in Vermont;…they used their barn as their book warehouse. Brown became their editor and principal writer in 1938. Despite receiving payments and royalties below the industry standard, Brown worked with them for years because she believed in their innovative approach to creative education books - which are now highly sought by collectors. This book shows what "fix-it men" do underneath the streets and in the air, with jolly illustrations by Ballantine. The same year this book was published, Ballatine traveled on assignment with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The next year, he quit publishing and literally ran away to the circus, becoming a professional clown. 9.5'' x 7.75''. Original orange pictorial boards. Illustrated in color by Ballantine. [40] pages. Inscribed by Ballantine on verso of title page: "For J. Dugan / who is always there / Bill Ballantine." A bit of soiling and a few marginal closed tears to leaves. Corners worn; chipping with loss to spine, carefully repaired. Signed.
