Later state, not the rare first state. SBN 394-81282-4 on rear dust jacket panel and bound by The Book Press. Very good plus condition in very good plus unclipped dust jacket. The book shows some light signs of wear, with bumping to the head and tail of the spine. The pages are clean and free from any internal markings or inscriptions. Slight spine tilt. The dust jacket shows some signs of wear, with a few nicks and tiny chips, particularly to the head and tail of the spine. The spine of the jacket is faded with a blemish (see photos). The front cover is very well preserved. Overall a collectible copy of a classic children’s book.
