First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Signed by co-author Tom Baird in black ink on the title page.

The original white cloth boards are clean and structurally sound, with bright blue and green stamped lettering on the spine. Corners are sharp, and the spine tips show virtually no wear. The binding remains tight, square, and unread. Interior pages are clean, crisp, bright, and free of any foxing, highlighting, or marginalia. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+). The original illustrated dust jacket is complete, bright, and vibrant with minimal shelf wear. It is not price-clipped, cleanly retaining the original £12.99 price on the front inner flap.

Store description
Barbidder Books is an independent vintage and antiquarian bookseller specialising in rare, out-of-print, and collectible books, with a particular focus on classic and vintage children’s literature. Our catalogue includes carefully selected antique, early illustrated, and vintage editions, alongside unusual and hard-to-find titles across a range of subjects. We have a special interest in golden age illustrated children’s books, classic stories, early editions, and nostalgic titles, many of which are increasingly difficult to find in good condition. Every book in our collection is individually sourced and chosen for its historical interest, collectability, or charm. We aim to offer books that appeal both to serious collectors and readers looking for something distinctive, whether that is a beautifully illustrated early children’s book, a decorative antique volume, or a scarce edition long out of print. Condition and accuracy are extremely important to us. All books are carefully described and photographed, with any notable faults clearly noted so that buyers can purchase with confidence. We understand that many of our customers are collectors, and we strive to present each item as clearly and honestly as possible. Books are securely packaged to protect them in transit, using protective materials appropriate for older and delicate volumes. Orders are dispatched promptly, and we are always happy to answer questions or provide additional information about any item listed. Our stock is constantly evolving as we continue to source interesting and unusual books from private collections, estates, and book fairs. While children’s books are a particular speciality, you will also find titles in areas such as literature, illustrated books, antiquarian works, and other collectible subjects. At Barbidder Books, we believe that old books carry stories beyond the words on their pages. They represent the craftsmanship of earlier publishing, the imagination of past generations, and the enduring appeal of the printed book. Whether you are a collector, gift buyer, or nostalgic reader, we hope you enjoy browsing our catalogue and discovering books with history, character, and lasting charm. Thank you for visiting Barbidder Books.…
