The Little Engine That Could (4 COPIES!!) Platt & Munk Co., No. 358 Retold by Watty Piper 2 (both) are First Edition, First printing 'A' variants, 1930. According to expert Stan Zielinski in his website on collecting childrens books. The third copy is a 3rd edition with no copyright statement to the front pastedown and 'Lil Hannibal' in the title list. Printed around 1938 and in lovely and bright condition without the dust wrapper. CONDITION NOTES: Hardcovers. Both are nearly identical First editions and this title last on the list 'Never Grow Old Series' verso of the front fep. ) printed the same year. A dust wrapper is present (with one book only) and in very good (unclipped) condition which also matches the copyright statement on the pastedown front cover. Uncommon in such very nice condition and very attractive on the display shelf. The better one in Near Fine(NF), the other with the name & date on the front fep is Very Good (VG). The last example is in red bds (without the pastedown FC) in blue inked illustrated titles, small ink owner name upper front ep, (sme colored ep's as all the others) and fine color illustrations throughout. I have designated this a reading copy in case you have children or grand (Great-grand!) children to whom you can read this to. No child should grow up without it. NOTE: It has taken me over 20 years to find and collect all 3 of these copies. I hope they will find a good home(s) and be enjoyed for generations to come.…
