About this Item

TRUE FIRST Edition, FIRST Printing: A lovely copy of the True Scarce First Printing which was printed in Japan by World Publishing and includes the full number line down to the 1 (the later printings were printed in the United States, and do not have the complete number line down to 1), and with the A3450 code on rear board. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Carle?s break through/landmark book and one of the most read children?s books of all time. A lovely example of this title, in the original boards in good condition, lacking the dust jacket. Boards lightly toned with slight soiling, and a few faint surface scratches. The boards have no edgewear and the book is tightly bound. The internal pages have no names, no inscriptions and no bookstore stamps. The internal pages have some intermittent lightly scattered handling marks and/or faint pale stains, but are overall clean. A few smaller than dime size areas of white-out which are quite hard to spot and do not even show in the images. (please see images). An incredibly scarce book at a great price for this title. Lacking the dust jacket. Highly collectible. ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. Please see our Abe store for other rare children's books. Seller Inventory # 001211

Store Description

We buy and sell rare books and support our customers with expert advice and first class service. We focus primarily on the James Bond series, Science Fiction, Rare Children�s books, and select other rare books. Because of our specialization, we have developed a deep expertise in these categories and are able to offer a good selection of authors and titles across the quality and price spectrum. To be able to offer rare books of extraordinary quality, we have cultivated relationships with several premier conservators, who restore and conserve books on behalf of museums and private collectors. Our approach has lead to satisfied customers who have become repeat buyers, many of whom have built attractive collections as alternative investments. Our commitment to customers is backed by our return policy, which is simple: if you are not happy with your purchase, you may return the book for a full refund.
