Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Good. 1st Edition. This is the 1928 "Children's Annual Pitter Patter Book", the third such that was issued by the Whitman Publishing Company in Racine, Wisconsin. Whitman was one of the largest publisher's of nursery and children's books in the United States. The "Pitter Patter Books" were published annuall…y for a while. They contained a veritable treasure trove of stories, songs and activities. Some of the activities and stories were educational, and some were just outright silly and fun. Lots of illustrations, some of which were fairly sophisticated in style. On the title page is a statement of content: "The material in this Pitter Patter Book, as well as the previous Pitter Patter books, is collected from the pages of the 'Junior Home Magazine', of Chicago, the well-known children's publication. The variety, quality, and entertainment in this book is due to the excellence of that monthly periodical." The authors of various stories, poems, and articles in the book are all credited at the start of each." TITLE : The Children's Annual Pitter Patter Book (Third Annual, W688) EDITOR : Not Credited AUTHORS : Various IMPRINT : Whitman Publishing Co. PLACE : Racine, Wisconsin DATE : (1928) EDITION : First Thus STATUS : OP PHYSICAL DETAILS : Illustrated Children's Annual; 208 pages; approximately 6" x 7 3/4"; color - pictorial paper-covered boards. (Wrap around illustration depicting a little boy and girl with their pet dog sailing down a stream in a little boat, past a family of bears having a picnic). Interior reproduction of illustrations is crude. The printing of the text is similarly primitive. CONDITION -- GOOD ONLY -- Clean and intact with wear that is partly production - related, and partially from the previous owner . The reproduction of the pictures was low quality, as you can see, and varied in printing quality from page to page. Also the paper used was of a low grade, and thus all copies found of this book have paper that is considerably toned. So that is what collectors have to deal with, and what is left is nostalgia and memory, and the hopes that previous owners were not overly rough when handling the book. This copy fared fairly well; I spotted a few pages that had been marked (One that was crayoned we've provided a picture - and another that seems to display pencil erasures (Funny Face page): again we've shown , but for the most part the interior is clean and presentable, with the following noted :: EXTERIOR -- Creasing and small splitting along the front joint; spine extremities compressed and chipped; board corner tips are bumped; there are what look to be small spots of pinkish water color paint in the center of the front board (this is not so egregious in appearance as it might seem (see picture). No marks on rear cover. Surface rub is moderate. BINDING -- As solid as can be hoped. No leaves are detached or loose. INTERIOR -- The paper is unavoidably toned (browned). This is a production effect, and all copies found will be so toned. I spotted a couple of instances of page use: an owl is colored in (see picture ), and the funny face page seems to have pencil erasures (again, see picture ). For the most part the interior is clean. This collector's book as a whole must be considered fragile, and would certainly no longer be suitable for use by a child. It is a collectible relic from the past. book, antique childrens book, Childrens Annual Pitter Patter Book , 1928 First Edition, Whitman Publishing Company , Third Annual Volume , Activity Book, Stories songs poems, puzzles and mazes, poems and songs, Nursery Book , Nursery fantasies.
