Seller: Raptis Rare Books, Palm Beach, FL, U.S.A.Raptis Rare Books
Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition, stated first printing of the sequel of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat. Octavo, original illustrated boards, pictorial endpapers. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author opposite the title page, "For Blair Sanchez with Best Wishes - Dr. Seuss." Near fine in a very good dust jacket. The year after Theodore Geisel,… better known as Dr. Seuss, broke new ground in childrenâs books with The Cat in the Hat, he brought back the immediately popular characterâ"with 26 little cats under his red-and-white stovepipe, not to mention the mysterious âVoomââ"for a new madcap adventure. The title was the second from Beginner Books, Geiselâs own imprint at Random House; in very little time, as that lineâs identifying logo, âthe Catâs image would become synonymous with learning to readâ (Cohen, 324).

Seller: Churchill Book Collector ABAA/ILAB/IOBA, San Diego, CA, U.S.A.Churchill Book Collector ABAA/ILAB/IOBA
Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. First edition, early printing. This first edition, early printing, was inscribed by Dr. Seuss for a young mother in 1963 at a bookshop one mile from Dr. Seuss's home in La Jolla, California. It was acquired by us directly from the person for whom this book was purchased, to whom it was inscribed, and whose family enjo…yed this book for three generations. This copy is inscribed on the lower left corner of the front free endpaper verso in four lines "for | JiLL | with Best Wishes | Dr. Seuss" with a characteristic Dr. Seuss squiggle between the valediction and signature. ConditionAs Dr. Seuss surely intended when he signed this copy for a young mother in 1963, this book has been read, a lot, and then some more. If you seek a pristine, "trophy" copy, this book is not for you. Instead, it is imbued with provenance and story. This copy is an early printing (definitively 1963 or before since that was the year it was purchased and inscribed). Condition is very good minus in a very good minus dust jacket. The glossy paper-covered boards binding is bright, square, and tight with modest superficial scuffing, appreciable wear confined primarily to the joints, spine ends, and corners, occasionally slightly exposing the card beneath. The contents are bright, with only a few, trivial instances of spotting. Dr. Seuss's inscription, inked in blue on the lower left front free endpaper verso, is bright and clean. Affixed to the lower left rear pastedown is the printed and illustrated ticket of "John Cole's Book & Craft Shop" in La Jolla, California, where this book was purchased and inscribed. The dust jacket's rear face highlights the publisher's "Beginner Books" division founded in 1957 by Phyllis Cerf, Dr. Seuss, and his wife, Helen Palmer Geisel, on the stunning success of this book's predecessor, The Cat in the Hat (1957). This jacket is not only bright, but complete, with no loss or tears. There is shelf wear to extremities, a vertical spine crease, and mild overall soiling. The jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover.ProvenanceThis book's life story is as compelling as the story within.In 1959, the family of the "Jill" to whom this book is inscribed moved from Los Angeles to Point Loma in San Diego a beautiful peninsula protecting San Diego's vaunted natural harbor. Point Loma is just a few miles south of La Jolla, the seaside promontory to which Dr. Seuss had moved in 1948, where he lived the rest of his life, and where he wrote the majority of his books. In July 1963, Jill had her first child a boy, Jeff. For Jill's birthday that November, her mom decided to give her a gift that she could share with her new baby. Jill's mom was friends with Barbara Cole, proprietor of John Cole's Books in La Jolla, and Barbara was friends with Dr. Seuss, who lived exactly one mile away from the shop. So, with Barbara's help, Jill's mom got Dr. Seuss to inscribe 22 brand new copies of his books of which this is one in the fall of 1963. Jill read and reread these books to Jeff and his little sister, Lauren, born in 1966, throughout their childhood. Jill and her husband raised Jeff and Lauren in Point Loma, in the same house where, eventually, they read and reread this and their other Dr. Seuss books to their granddaughters, just as they had once read them to their children. With both children and grandchildren grown, Jill decided to entrust her Dr. Seuss books to us. Hence we now offer this book from their collection to a new owner for the first time since it was purchased for Jill by her mom and inscribed by Dr. Seuss in 1963.
