About this Item
Description:
Half black cloth cover over green pictorial boards has a hint of wear to corners and along bottom edge and some modest toning on the front cover but clean, bright, and overall in good+ condition. Boards and spine are straight. Binding is tight. Pages are clean and pristine. Book appears unread. 'Grr-r-r' on p. 23. Dust jacket has light light toning and a couple very small, modest, faint stains and the Harper Blue Ribbon Book seal and overall is in very good+ condition. Front DJ flap corners are clipped but a price of $1.95 is stamped below by either the publisher or original retailer, perhaps the DJ was a leftover copy from a previous printing that needed the updated price given other first issue points are present on the DJ. The most recent title on list on back panel of DJ is "A Hole is to Dig" indicating a very early printing prior to later titles written by Krauss. DJ protected by a brand new, clear, acid-free mylar cover. We add mylar covers to all books with DJs to preserve the DJs and add luster to magnify their beauty. (If pictured, shown without the mylar cover for an accurate representation of dust jacket. ); 6.2 X 5.4 X 0.5 inches; 48 pages. Seller Inventory # 4612
