This is a genuine first edition, first printing of Pullman's first novel for children. "Published by" on copyright page has no mention of being a later edition -- thus meeting the requirement for identification of this 1982 publication. There are two stamps in the book: the first, on the first end-paper, indicates this copy was submitted to the US Library of Congress but was listed as a "surplus duplicate". The second stamp is to the half title page identifying the shop where it was subsequently sold in South Carolina, USA. There are traces of usage within the pages, most notably very small stains on pages 4,51 and 85. There's a manufacturing fault to rear paste-down -- a crimp at bottom. Light foxing to edges of page block. Boards are in great shape with nice sharp corners and no edge wear. The dust jacket is bright and sharp edged with only traces of shelf wear. Appears new at first look. There is very light foxing to jacket's entirety as seen on underside. The flaps, too, have some foxing. Despite these flaws, this is a good looking book and a genuine first printing of a very scarce title! A SIGNED title page is laid into the book.…

Store description
With many years of experience, LOONYBOOK is a private seller of predominantly first printings by notable 20th Century authors. We are prompt, professional, and we package books with extreme care. No bumped corners from us! LOONYBOOK occasionally renovates worthy library books -- replacing damaged end papers, for example. These are clearly described as such, and while they may not be perfect, they are relatively affordable, especially if the title is quite scarce or cost-prohibitive.

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.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

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.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to LOONYBOOK, Friday Harbor, Washington, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
