General bookshop wear, may have some slight wear to edges and spine, stored flat. Would make a great gift for the fan in your life, even if that's you. Direct reprint from the original antique children's book. It's original format was an accordion style, double sided frieze. Planographic or lithographic illustrations on paper were adhered to buckram cloth and then folded into itself. This book has been reformatted to a regular book style.There was no page for the the letter "W" as this book is of French origin and there were no words in the French language begin with a "W". The publisher has added a "W" to the book to match the other pages as even today there are very few words in French starting with that letter. The French call it a "double-v" not a "double-u".It's charming and wonderful, and can be enjoyed by children, linguists and artists of all ages. You'll notice that some of the illustrations are colored in, which are original to the source text. Clean and unmarked. Text is in French and English, modern undated edition. A true delight. 24 p. Direct reprint in full color of the original antique book (illustrator). Book.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. [London], The Dangerfield Printing Co. Ltd [for the Underground Electric Railways Company of London? 1923]. Duodecimo, [28] pages with numerous illustrations printed in four colours. Colour-pictorial card covers slightly rubbed; small amount of red pencil scribble on the outside rear cover (and some slight and inoffensive red colouring-in to the figures on the front cover); a very good copy (internally fine). A charming pictorial alphabet book advertising country pleasure outings by public transport in the vicinity of London. The illustrations show two children and their aunt on such an outing, with all figures stylised as wooden toys. The alphabet begins 'A is for Auntie, who's so fond of Us; | That she takes us for rides on the top of the Bus', and continues with rhyming couplets in a similar vein. The letterpress text gives details of return fares to Eastcote, Horsenden Hill, Ickenham, Ruislip, Southend, South Harrow, and Uxbridge, together with details of tea rooms and resorts at those destinations. The catalogue record for an example held by the London Transport Museum (1997/13265) attributes the illustrations to Violet Holdsworth. We have traced very few institutional holdings. 'Reg. No. 108-10M-5.4.23' is printed on the recto of the rear cover; we read this as indicating a print-run of 10,000 copies.…
