About This Item
Chicago: Rand McNally & Company, 1914. Assumed First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Color pictorial covers (paper over boards), with brown cloth backing (no spine lettering), wear to edges and corners, limited surface wear with some discoloration/ soiling, tightly bound, former owner's gift inscription on front flyleaf (not dated), otherwise the book is free of markings. Occasional light soiling and handling wear to pages, limited to lower right corners, short tears to three leaves. No dust jacket. Nursery rhymes with accurate butterfly illustrations (each with thier common name as well as thier scientific names), of anthropomorphized small children in colorful fairy-like images, and text mentioning associated plants and trees. A delightful book, uncommon; this copy shows wear but was not abused.
