He Was There From the Day We Moved In

Levine, Rhoda

Published by Harlin Quist Publishing, 1968

About this Item

Very good condition overall in a good, unclipped Good condition dust jacket. The olive cloth boards remain clean and well preserved, with bright gilt spine lettering and only light rubbing at the corners. The binding is tight and square, and the interior is crisp and clean for a 1968 Harlin Quist first printing, with no marks other than the author?s inscription. The dust jacket shows moderate wear along the edges, several short closed tears, small chips at the spine ends, surface rubbing, and light soiling to the pale green panels, but remains complete, attractive, and fully legible.

From the personal library of Tony Walton. The front free endpaper bears a warm inscription from Rhoda to ?Emma, Bridget, Jen & Jo,? which?given provenance?may possibly refer to Walton?s daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton. A scarce and desirable first edition of Rhoda Levine?s collaboration with Edward Gorey, produced to the high illustrative standard characteristic of Harlin Quist and rarely found with an authorial presentation.
