Media mail can sometimes take much longer than the estimate. I have no control over that. I'm offering priority mail as an option. It's faster and more reliable, but not infallible. Unfortunately it is much more expensive than media mail.

Unique and charming children's book. Illustrated with droll silhouettes.

Cover is worn. Corners are bumped and frayed. Spine is sun-discolored. Material is eroded on spine ends. Smudges and light ring-stain on front. Smudges on back panel. Small perforation in binding trough on back.

Old price in top corner of front endpaper. Signed bookplate on rear pastedown. No other marking noted. Binding is fragile. No loose pages, but there is separation between some pages due to binding adhesive wearing out. This does not prevent the book being usable, but calls for careful handling. At present, the binding is together, but spreading. Cover hinges are intact.

There are some edge tears or cuts on first title page. Text pages are clean and in good condition. The book is truly lavishly illustrated.

298 pages. 9.75 onches x 7.75 inches.
