Wonderful artwork by 'Koering' throughout, text by Jeffrey Victor. An amazingly bright and fresh copy, considering its age, and seemingly untouched by a child (or perhaps gently used). Minor condition issues: top of rear board edge at metal rings curled inwards, a few small blemishes, two very faint crinkle ridges/surface creases running vertically on the front board, minor bumping to corners; otherwise excellent. Again, see all photos enlarged (one is a composite of 3 double-page spreads - over 26 inches wide each). die-cut shape book, metal ring bdg. Seller Inventory # 03908
