About This Item
New York, New York: Random House, 1995. First Softcover Edition 5th or later Printing. Soft cover. Near Fine. Geisel, Theodor. Brilliantly illustrated guide to a collection of "fabulous & whimsical paintings" created by Theodor Geisel (better known as "Dr. Seuss,'' the beloved children's book author) that were never shown to the public during his lifetime (1904-1991). With an Introduction by fellow imaginative children's book genius Maurice Sendak & a personal note by his widow, Audrey Geisel. Orig. published in hardcover in 1995, this is the 6th printing of the First Softcover Edition published later that year, in 94 pages + Chronology of Books in rear. Quarto in brightly colored wrappers, glued binding, is in Near Fine condition: feels never opened, but just lacks that Brand New crispness, with slight rubbing to all extremities & very slight curling to bottom outer corner of front cover & first few pages. Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--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.
