Patersons Printing Press, Small 4to, 28p Pictorial boards with a red cloth spine. Stapled pages, staples are covered by the cloth binding and have no rusting. I believe this is written about Nicky's adventures at the West Australian Zoo in South Perth. The book looks unread but has age related yellowing to the paper and the cover has some fading around the edges and a couple of small bumps. For a children's book of this age it is in amazing condition and the only one known for sale. A rare piece of West Australian juvenile literary history.
