In The Night Kitchen

Signed by Sendak with dedication and sketch on inside blank page: a boy or man who is saying "To Fred Emery: Cock-a-doodle doo! & Thank You! Dec. 70." Inside flap is clipped bottom; top flap reads $4.95; acetate protects the dust jacket; book is clean and tight, in very good condition; DJ is G with very mild edgewear. Book is VG, clean and tight; rare signed copy. Dust jacket conforms to Hanrahan's early issue points with 1070 bottom of front flap and seven titles on the rear flap, with $4.95 at top corner of the front flap. My copy goes point for point as a first with Hanrahan. NO Caldecott Honor label. Note: I just acquired eleven signed Sendak and am seeking a collector who is interested. They are: Where the Wild Things Are, Hurry Home Candy, Hector Protector And As I Went Over The Water, Very Far Away, A Very Special House, The Wonderful Farm, Shadrach, In The Night Kitchen, Seven Tales, and Nutcracker. All are signed and illustrated by Sendak. . BEVFR.
