About This Item
Springfield, Massachusetts: McLoughlin Brothers, Inc., 1937. Reprint . Hardcover. Fair. Johann, P. Grot; Andre, R.. Fragile but nicely illustrated collection of 11 tales from the Brothers Grimm, illustrated throughout the 55 pages with pen-and-ink sketches by 2 of the most prolific German illustrators of their time, P. [Philipp] Grot Johann & R. Andre. An unknown printing from 1937, with brightly decorative yellow paper over boards, this hardcover small quarto (8" x 10.5") is downgraded to Fair condition because the text block has completely separated from the boards, but is still internally securely held with two staples. All pages present & unmarked, though tanned, heavily around edges, commensurate with age & poor paper quality. Spine is torn, with loss of paper. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
