About this Item

First Edition (NAP). Uncommon little book. I'm forgetting the descriptive phrase for pages like these. The print is only on one side of the page. Each pair of pages is uncut at its top edge, so you can look inside and see that the verso sides are blank. It makes for a nice appearance. There is a frontispiece of a kind (it's on the page after the title page), a 'Sketch Plan Of Dogtown.' There are numbers beside each of the houses and to the right of the map is a list of the numbers with the corresponding names of the home owners. The story is composed in rhyming verse. There are five illustrations by Riggs Wait, quite nice. One is full-page. They are all in excellent condition. The book ends with a page titled Postscript, a letter to Kitty Parsons from someone with the initials E. R. W. The pages are in really nice condition. They are very clean and very bright. There are no creases. No markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the covers in the first few photos. While they are clean, they do have toning at the margins. There is a little crease at the tip of the front bottom corner. On the rear cover there is a whitish discoloration at the center. There is also some toning coming down at the center of the cover, and there is a circular shape just off the top edge which would indicate that there was most likely a sticker of some kind there at some point. There isn't any residue or anything like that. The book is a stapled binding. It is very solid. There are no binding issues. Seller Inventory # 004209

Store Description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
