First Edition
/Kubasty, Vojitecha (Vojt?ch Kuba?ta) (illustrator). CONDITION: Very Good in Good Minus jacket; no names, straight, tight, clean; extrems bumped and rubbed; in jacket with rubbed creases and edges, creases near spine affecting illustration, old paper repair to 2" corner tear and to damaged spine, see image; despite all this, the only loss of paper is at spine foot, so Kubasta's illustration is complete. Czech language hardback. "The little red beetle with seven black dots, called Sunshine, discovers the world and experiences adventures with its insect friends." Beautiful pictures with great characterization and depth of color, recalling the best of Kubasta's much later pop-up work. (The Communist party took over the publishing business in Czechoslovakia in 1948). In rare jacket. ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. /Kubasty, Vojitecha (Vojt?ch Kuba?ta).
