About This Item
Chicago, IL Scott, Foresman and Company, 1940. Hardcover First Edition Thus (1940); later printing (no "N" on the last page). No subsequent printings listed. Good: shows considerable wear to the extremities, especially at the corner tips where the fabric of the dark-grey cloth-covered boards has worn thin or through to the underlying board; moderate rubbing and light overall soiling to the panels; the text pages show some faint soiling and a few stray pencil marks and scuffs. The binding is square and secure. Shows noticeable wear but remains a sturdy, presentable reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (7.95 x 5.8 x 0.85 inches). 191 pages. Illustrated in color by Keith Ward. Language: English. Weight: 13.2 ounces. Blue cloth over boards with Red and Yellow titles and designs at the front panel and backstrip. Basic Readers: Curriculum Foundation Series. A revision of the Elson-Gray Basic Readers. First Edition Thus (1940); later printing (no "N" on the last page). No subsequent printings listed. Hardback: No DJ 'as issued'. Dick and Jane welcome new friends to their neighborhood. I learned to read with this book and I'm happy to be able to help my grandchild learn to read with this book too. A great book for beginning readers. Just like anyone who read Dick and Jane books remembers. Love the nostalgia that come with old books.
