About this Item

This VG+ quality first edition book was published in 1967 by Grosset & Dunlap. It is 7-5/8" tall and has 174 numbered pages of text; it is format #3, as per Mattson & Davis's bibliography (Grosset & Dunlap; 7-5/8"; pictorial composition binding, medium blue spine & back cover with black lettering for title, white lettering for author; pictorial front, in colors; spine & back cover are light orange [or "school bus yellow"]; decorated end pages are black line drawings depicting the same scene as the early end pages did; frontis +8 to +11 full or partial page illustration, all on plain paper. No dust jacket). This book is square, very clean, free of corner bumps and edge dings but with slight wear and color loss at all four corners; the head and heel of the spine are lightly bumped with slight color loss. The bottom edges have virtually no wear except at the heel of the spine and both lower front corners, all of which have some color loss. Except for an inked name / date on the reverse side of the FFEP, the interior is completely free of writing, stray marks and stains of any sort; there is a scrape on the front paste down and a small fragment missing from the top of the FFEP (see photo). Both hinges are very strong and not damaged. The frontis and other illustrations are intact. The paper is quite flexible. The book lists only the first 29 Swift Jr. titles on the rear panel; there is no list in the book. Seller Inventory # BMR-2020-1-29-5
