About this Item

A Good+ copy of this well loved title. A NEARLY GOOD Dust Jacket has original price intact on front flap ($1.00). Jacket has split, front panel and flap are detached from rear panel and flap (total of 2 pieces). ALL 'Fuzzy Bears" are still very 'Fuzzy". Fuzzy Bear on both front and rear panel. Rear jacket panel is lacking an approx. 3" x 3" piece at bottom (near spine). Overall jacket is edge chipped and age-toned, with four small crayon #s on front and two on rear of dust jacket. Rear flap advertises two other titles in the series. ALL pages of the Furry Bears throughout the book are still VERY furry. Only one bear has a green crayon stripe along his back (on front free end-paper). A child's neat bookplate on front blank end-paper. Book spine paper is 50% complete (see photo). Weak hinges (rear inner hinge professionally repaired) but a tight text block. Still a fabulous item. Mylar protected. Seller Inventory # 002170
