This 1939 First Printing with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This thin hardcover book has lots of awesome illustrations. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. The title page has a tiny chip on the top corner. The pages are otherwise clean with no soiling, writing, or tears. The title page states 1939 First Printing with no other dates or printings shown. This is definitely Not a former library book. The yellow book has a matching yellow illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket is over 99% intact with light chipping on the top of the front and light soiling on the back. I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this old book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy box.
