Descripción

CONDITION: Very Good Plus in Very Good jacket; no names or other marks, straight and very clean as to boards, spine back, and pages but joints are foxed, in lightly toned and darkened jacket with 3/8" bottom margin chip taped in and similar pull tear, light wear across top and to extrems (to about 1/8") unclipped $1. Picture book hardback Babar. As the foundation of their children's division, Random House purchased the first three American editions of the Babar books from Smith and Haas in 1936, and republished them as "Big Books" about 10.5x14.5" However, the $3 price and the large size apparently did not sell as well as expected, so the books were also reproduced in a $1 smaller 6.5x8.5 format. Described as a "handy size", this book is unpleasantly cramped and not successful as a picture book, but an interesting example for the collector. ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. /JdeB, illustrator. N° de ref. del artículo 21252
