Freddy and the Fire Engine

New York: Crown Publishers, 1945. First edition, 1945. Fair in fair to poor dustjacket. Color illustrated moveable book with four moveable plates, three fully operational with the fourth partially working and all parts present, probably a pretty straightforward repair. The tabs used to move the figures have been embellished with green holiday tape with silver stars. Pictorial hardcover with red comb binding incorporated into the spine, oblong format, matching dustjacket. The book has some cover smudging near the edges and some wear to the spine ends, binding sound, pages very slightly age-toned but generally quite clean, no names or other markings. The mylar protected dustjacket has some pretty significant chips and closed tears but with the cover designs pretty much intact, about five to ten percent paper loss, additional front panel repair with holiday tape, repair to rear panel with clear tape, dustjacket somewhat grubby overall. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fair/Poor. Oblong 4to.
