There isn't another copy of this book for sale on the Internet like this one. By which I mean, the few others for sale are all library copies without dust jackets. My copy is NOT an ex-library book, it has its original dust jacket, and it is also a First Edition (with a Number Line to 1). This is a very interesting book. It consists of a collection of stories by an impressive group of children's authors. The authors are, in order of the stories, Catherine Woolley, Barbara Brenner, Judy Blume, Charlotte Zolotow, Grace Berquist, Betty Ren Wright, Janice May Udry, Joan Gill, Elizabeth Starr Hill, and M. Matsuno. The book is illustrated by Michael Hampshire, who became well known as a National parks archaeological illustrator and photographer. Fortunately, this rare book is in excellent condition. You can see the photographs I've provided. The pinkish red covers are quite clean. There's a minimum of wear (a slight bit of fading of color around the top right-hand corner of the front and at the corners, no rub-through, and a light crease at the bottom edge of the spine). This book is square and straight, tight and very solidly bound. This book has either been gently handled or not much handled at all. The pages are exceptionally clean and not at all worn. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. And there aren't any markings or attachments. The Dust Jacket is not quite so perfect but has held up rather well. You can see it in the first few photographs. I've had it fitted into a protective cover. Three of the four flaps have been neatly clipped. There is a spot of scuffing at the bottom right-hand corner of the front, a spot of soiling at the juncture of the front and spine, some scuffing at the spine ends as well as off the bottom edge of the rear cover where there appears to be a small tear as well. And upon closer examination I believe there is a light stain on the top right side of the front cover. You should be able to see the change in color there. It's not particularly conspicuous, in fact I didn't really take note of it until now. In any event, you should take a good look (zoom in) at the photographs. My description of the jacket is meant to be a guide.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
