About This Item
Boston, Massachusetts: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1951. First printing (date on title page). Hardcover. Very Good-/Fair. 5 1/2 x 8 1/4. B&W illustrations by Alan Dunn. 3K. Sewn binding in paper-covered boards, in dustjacket. Inscribed and signed by Toots Shor on the front flyleaf. This original edition scarce, even unsigned. With amusing New Yorker-style drawings by Dunn. A solid copy with firm binding and intact hinges. Aside from the inscription, no marks. Lower corners bumped. Tiny spot back cover. A very little faint smudging to front cover and fore-edge. Top edge dust-stained. Unclipped ($2.50) dustjacket is "Fair only": a lot of wear, tear, chipping and creasing, with shelf-soil showing on the white back panel. Spine only slightly faded. Paper lightly toned.
