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.

Jedediah Smith
Fur Trapper of the Old West

Julian Messner, 7th Printing 1966
Illustrated by Robert Doremus
G+/G+ It actually looks a lot
better than the G+ makes it sound,
and the boards under the DJ
are bright and shiny. A great
little reading copy for your
little explorer and future trapper.

James and the Giant Peach

Knopf 1961
1st Edition, Second State with the 4-line

There is a small blemish on the left center of

would be near perfect (if you ignore the inscription
on the ffep to Dan Schneider from Aunt Helen in 1972...)

Favorite Fairy Tales Told In Italy
Illustrated by Evaline Ness

Little, Brown 1965 1st Edition
This book is very good in a better than good unclipped
dust jacket. There are some frayed edges here and
there but nothing really leaps out. This is a very
scarce book and NOT an ex-library copy.

The Spanish Cave

August, 1943 1st Thus
Illustrations by Gould Hulse
This is a very nice little
'tanned' paperback copy with
a curved shape to it. No tears

were past, but a deadly
monster lurked in
the Spanish Cave."

The price-clipped jacket has
a piece missing on the front. You
can see it in the photo at right,
between the tree and one of the
branches. Luckily the book is the
same color so it blends in
perfectly.

Ranger Rick's Surprise Book

There is a gift inscription to some
lucky lad in 1979 on the ffep but

bit of edgewear.
