Jim, who, his dancing partner feels, is a bit thick, goes on an enthusiastic exercise regime, becomes slim and famous, marries Ma'moiselle Peeka de Bou, and opens a dancing school. One of the 4 Peek-a-Boo boys, originally published by Humphrey Milford in 1922. ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection.

die-cut shape book. Condition: Good Plus/VG-. 9" tall, 3 1/2" wide, thick pictorial paper-cover card boards. Very scarce and sought-after children's die-cut shape book from 1927, with front and back cover illustration by the excellent illustrator Chloe Preston (name is not present but known to be her work). Text by May Byron. This copy in close to Very Good condition (G+/VG-) with a nice outward appearance (see both photos enlarged) but with paper loss along the thin spine (middle still holding), general edgewear (a few corners rounded) and moderate soiling. Inside front cover has an elegant gift inscription ['To Bobby June, from Daddy' with date], otherwise a pristine interior. Actually a nice copy, though a bit fragile; again, see photos.
