About This Item
New York/London: Charles Scribners' Sons, 1930. First Thus . Hardcover. VG-/No Jacket. Hurd, Peter. One of a lovely series of classic books for young readers illustrated by famous artists of the day, each with a colorful paper pastedown to the front board. These have recently been reissued, making these original editions (this one from 1930; story originally from 1883) more highly collectible, particularly when they contain color plates, like this one, which has 9 of them, along with a Title Page illustration & colorful endpapers, by New Mexican artist Peter Hurd, protege of N. C. Wyeth. The hardcover octavo has black cloth-over-boards & a colorful front pastedown, in 347 pages. Very clean overall, binding strong & straight, illustrations bright & richly colored, hinges secure, pages clean & unmarked. However, there is a thin line of DAMPSTAINING to the mid-fore edge side of all pages & (including the outer margins of all plates), causing the condition to be downgraded to VG- (minus). NO DJ. 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); weekends & holidays ship very next business day. Bonus: order at the same time as the companion volume by the same author/artist, "The Story of Siegfried,'' & take 20% off both books, + second book ships for only $1.00 extra postage!
