Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket As Issued. First Edition. This offering is an older, ex-library copy, in good condition, of Queerie Queers with Hands, Wings and Claws written by several anonymous "poets" and illustrated by Palmer Cox. The book was published by The Sunshine Publishing Company, perhaps around 1910, or so, and does appear to be a First Edition though it's not specifically stated as such. The book has no dust jacket and is in good condition but for the yellowing pages and wear. It's an ex-library copy and is a book of poetry ("The Queer People of this book belong to the Animal Classes both Wild & Tame.") wonderfully illustrated by Cox. Nearly all the illustrations are black-and-white but there are, perhaps, a half dozen that are four-color illustrations. The book has about 100 glossy pages. Thank you. Palmer Cox (illustrator). …
