The Story of Babar the little elephant

Random House 1933 1st Thus

Generally this is better than a Good+. The book is
straight and square, there is rubbing on the bottom
of the boards and there are obviously a few tears on
the front of the dust wrapper, but it's better than
most I see. The jacket has been protected with a
Brodart sleeve for many, many years.
