Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Presumed later impression. Hardcover with dust jacket. Mylar protective wrapper. 1939 on copyright page only. $3.50 jacket flap price. Gray cloth. Choo Choo advertisement on rear jacket flap. Jacket shows some light wear to edges and surface with some corner bumping and several small edge tears. Envelope affixed to rear end paper. Otherwise, inside pages are clean and unmarked.
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Virginia Lee Burton (illustrator). A very early issue of this Virgina Lee Burton classic, even uncommon as such. Probably the 3rd issue of the 1939 1st edition, with its salmon-colored boards (instead of gray), its lack of the 1939 date on the title page and a $3.00 price (rather than $1.50) on the dustjacket flap. Still though, with no further printings mentioned on the copyright page and the reference on the rear inner-flap (as the 1st issue of the 1st edition also has) to Virginia Lee Burton's "Choo Choo", this is undoutedly a very early printing. And an impressive, well-preserved copy to boot. Tight and VG+ (with very light creasing along a number of the pages) in a crisp, price-intact, VG+ dustjacket, with light creasing --and several small closed tears-- to the panel edges. Still though, bright and very presentable. Oblong octavo, wonderfully illustrated thruout in ruch color by the redoubtable Virginia Lee Burton.

A very good copy in a very good price-clipped dust jacket with some light expert restoration to the spine extremities. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Published in the midst of the Great Depression, Virginia Lee Burtonâ s classic favorite Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel ranks among the National Education Associationâ s â Teachersâ Top 100 Books for Children.â â Taking her cue from her small sons, Aristides and Michael, Burton chose subjects that would intrigue children. Mary Ann, the steam shovel (Burtonâ s books) have heroes and heroines children can understand and enjoy, ingenious and satisfactory endings and lively illustrations. The books survive because they exhibit so effectively the elements most basic to childrenâ s literatureâ (Silvey, 109-10). The beloved story was adapted into a short animated film directed by Michael Sporn and aired for the first time on HBO in 1990.
