Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Publication date is not listed, but presumed c. early 1950s, oversized hardcover (19.5" x 25.25") with fold-out stands on both covers that are secured with snaps, and is bound with three rings. The book is heavily worn, especially at the tail of the spine, and has fraying, splitting and losses to the cloth at the spine ends, hinges, cover edges and corners that exposes the boards, leaving them vulnerable to delamination, which has started in several places. There is also bowing to the covers, rubbing with smudging across the exterior, toning to the pages with use smudges or brief childish marks to some, and offsetting to the first and last pages at the fore corners. Overall, this is a solid, but Fair/As Is only copy, and additional images are available by request.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Thus. Fabulous vintage Dick and Jane - an oversized folio measuring approximately 19 x 24-1/2", still in original presentation covers with attached board-stands. Three ring internal binder (as issued) with each large folio of four pictures bound together with reinforced (again, as issued) leatherette spines. Contains all 6 "stories" (a total of 24 large pictures) from the We Look and See, the beginning pre-Primer. It would appear that pages 1 and 2 - likely introduction notes, are missing - but ALL THE MARVELLOUS 1950s pages are there. And glorious they are! Clean, bright and fresh, each page has no marks whatsoever - perhaps a touch of age toning and faint signs of handling along outer page edges, otherwise truly fine. The leatherette binder/presentation folder is still in reasonable condition and has the original paste-down label on front. Spines are beginning to crack and the corners are a little bumped, but otherwise astonishingly fine.
