About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Platt & Munk Co. Inc., 1945. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Wonderful fold-out board book for young readers with vintage images of small town American life circa 1945 in "Riverdale." The book's 10 colorful panels, each depicting a progressive section of the locomotive, are attached with burgundy cloth, which has faded. On one set of panels, there is evidence that it has been reglued (photo 5), & it is a bit shaky here. But all the others are strong & secure! Colors are bright, no fading (except to the cloth binding. Very clean, completely unmarked. The only other real flaw is heavy rubbing to all lower edges & along the fore edge; the worst occurs on the front cover near the top outer corner, where the paper is rubbed down to the underlying board. A very nice example of a favorite book of mid-century children! Please see our photos--they show the Exact book you will receive from us, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have on hand! Description & photos property of Gargoyle Books. All orders processed before 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time) ship Same Day; Weekends & holidays ship next business day.
