Item description from seller

Flat signed by Sendak on inside blank page, no personal inscription. Inside flap is clipped at top and bottom with $3.95 price stamped on flap at top; book is clean and tight, in very good condition; DJ is G with very slight shelfwear. Pictorial boards. Library of Congress catalog card number 53-7115 on copyright page. Book is VG; clean and tight; DJ is good with minor edgewear; very rare signed copy, illustrated by Maurice Sendak eleven years before he hit it big with Where the Wild Things Are. Blurb on rear flap of DJ mentions Caldecott Medal, so this dates the DJ by at least 1964. Hanrahan claims that her copy with a price of $2.95 was issued just after the Caldecott Medal and was issued in 1964, this copy would post-date that. 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. …
