Pictorial Boards. Condition: VG-. Dust Jacket Condition: Good+. Virginia Lee Burton (illustrator). 1974?. ex school library 1942 edition, later printing, no date ?1974, illustrated by Caldecott winner Virginia Lee Burton. You can still find books like this in thrift shops and at sales, but it's getting to be a while [30 to 60 years], particularly for children's books and library discards. One of the last in the great tradition of children's train books, this one is in very good minus condition, but it's gorgeous all the same, a story of a dog so fast he could race trains, just for the joy of it. Burton wrote and illustrated something like seven books, and provided the art for another four or so. She died at 59 in 1968. In 2007 a first edition of her book, The Little House, sold for just under $10,000.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. First Edition. 8vo. Pp. xvii, [2], 266. Index. Bound in dark blue-green cloth with gilt lettering stamped on spine. Slight soiling to cloth. In the scarce pictorial dust jacket, slight chips, esp. at head and tail of spine. Spine also has a vertical crease (see photo). Signed three times by Gordon Heath, twice on the front pastedown and once on the rear pastedown. Heath appears to be practicing his signature: On the front pastedown as "S. Gordon heath" and "Gordon heath" and on the rear pastedown as "Gordon heath," dated July, 1945. New York-born Seifield Gordon Heath (he dropped his first name) first came to prominence in Elia Kazan's "Deep are the Roots," which explores US race relations when a black GI returns from WWII to find his fight for world democracy means little in the Jim Crow South. Heath and his life-partner Leroy Payton, from Seattle, moved to Paris where they operated the Café de L'Abbaye, a cabaret-nightclub, while Heath continued to act on both sides of the Atlantic. Heath's narration of the 1954 British animated adaptation of "Animal Farm" remains a notable role. "They Seek a City" is a landmark text documenting Black flight from the South to points north and west. Historical figures include George Washington Bush, an early settler south of Olympia, Washington Territory, William Gross, the pioneer Seattle restaurateur and hotelier, and Spokane publisher Horace Roscoe Cayton. Uncommon, especially in the dust jacket, which is now protected in a clear, removable, archival sleeve.
