The book is in a large format hardcover (about 9? x 11?) and is profusely illustrated throughout in both black and white, and in color. The boards are in great condition, still maintaining their original sheen. The boards have no edgewear. The corners are ever so slightly rounded with one small tip bump. The binding is tight and square. The original end papers are clean with a repair to a small intact tear, otherwise the end papers have bookplates, no bookstore stamps no inscriptions, and no stains. The internal pages are very clean, bright and flat but a scant few small faded handling marks. Otherwise with no writing, no stains, no bent pages, and no foxing. A very crisp, clean example of this book which is most unusual as children?s books are usually ?well loved? The very scarce original first edition, first printing dust jacket has benefited from some slight restoration by an expert paper conservator and presents as a near fine example. The jacket has strong vibrant colors with no edgewear, no chips, no rips, no stains, no rubbing and no fading. Touch of very slight toning to the rear panel. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of $1.00. Stunning jacket presenting the book beautifully. Please see images. A very handsome example presenting very well with the stunning scarce original jacket and clean, crisp interior at a great price for this title! Would make a great addition to a Roald Dahl collection. ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our ABE store for other landmark Children's books. Seller Inventory # 002085

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. Walt Disney Productions (illustrator). 1st Edition. A fine first edition thus of Roald Dahls book The Gremlins, in hardback covers with no dust jacket as published, published by Dark Horse in 2006. This fine unread book has red pictorial boards with titles in yellow and black on the front and black only on the spine with yellow end papers displaying the gremlins of the title. The tight, bright, book has no marks, bumps or writings over its 52 pages. This book is as new and has not been read. The copyright page shows the number line 1 through to 10 indicating the first edition thus. The price in US Dollars is shown on the back of the book. The cover illustration shows the gremlins fixing a Spitfire. This book written in 1942 was Roald Dahls first book, while he was a Flight Lieutenant in the RAF, on assignment to the British Embassy in Washington, after a period as a fighter pilot at the outbreak of the World War II in 1939. Walt Disney was enamored by the gremlins and was to turn it into a movie as recounted in some detail by Leonard Maltin in his introduction, but for various reasons the movie was never made. This book however features illustrations of the gremlins by the Walt Disney Studio artists, hence the subtitle The Lost Walt Disney Production about the Gremlins and the Royal Air Force. The book is in pristine condition. The original book published by Random House in 1943 is now very expensive, so this is cost effective way of obtaining the first book written by Roald Dahl. Multiple photos are available on the AbeBooks web site, including Gremlin Gus. Clear removable archival film protects the pictorial boards. Seller Inventory # 000175
