About this Item

A strong Very Good; see scans and description. Racine, WI: Whitman Publishing Co., 1949. First Edition of this 1949 title from Whitman's "Cozy-Corner" series. Illustrated by Theresa Kalab. Octavo, illustrated glossy boards, nostalgic color and bi-tone illustration throughout by Kalab, illustrated endpapers, 32 pp. Very Good, and in fact a very strong very good it is. Corners and spine ends barely touched, small amount of rear-cover soil (possibly sticker adhesive residue), and just moderate age-toning to the pages. No interior writing. Just a hair short of Near Fine. See all scans. The Gingerbread Man is a variant of a like-themed class of anonymous folk tales; The Ugly Duckling is, of course, solely the product of Hans Christian Andersen. A very scarce genre collectible. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. - L7. Seller Inventory # 61842
