About This Item
New York: G. P. Putnam's. Very Good+ in Poor dust jacket. 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. 0399110038 . Dustjacket has blotches and edgewear and a closed tear to lower edge of front panel. It isn't particularly attractive - see image, but it also is covered with a clear, vinyl sleeve. Slight musty smell from storage. ; Signed by the author on the title page to Condor Rogers, noted journalist and editor at the New York Times. "These fifteen titles, published between 1953 and 1965, feature stories told in cross-hatched pictures and (mostly) rhyming couplets, generously spaced in this hardcover book. In this collection the panels of these books are rearranged to fill both sides of a much larger spread, which gives the stories a slightly different feel." [woodrow phoenix] ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; Signed by Author .
