About this Item
VG+/VG+. Later edition (1909 was 1st). Black cloth cloth with stamped gilt lettering and design on spine, color pictorial label with illustration by Parrish pasted on the front cover. Frontispiece illustration in blue and black, 9 full page color illustrations and color endpapers by Maxfield Parrish, 1930 at bottom of the title page. This book is near bright and has bright and clear images for all 9 of the Parrish illustrations. The cover label is very clean, the spine gilt is very bright, while the black cloth has some lighter mottling. It was read enough that the front hinge is a bit loose, but the endpapers are clean and there is no internal writing. What makes this a very collectable book is the presence of the very scarce dust jacket with a paste on Parrish illustration of Codadad and his brothers in their boat. The dust jacket is 98% with some small 1/8" edge chips and edgewear, the paper has browned a bit, and there is a bit of rubbing and a few small white spots on the cover label. But any Parrish book with a dust jacket from this era is extremely scarce. TO SEE MORE PICTURES AND ADDITIONAL SPECIAL ITEMS, VISIT OUR BOOKSELLER's HOMEPAGE. Seller Inventory # 00619
