first edition Hardcover
1964 · New York
by DAHL, Roald
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1964. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition, first issue. Spine lettering rubbed, and a little soiling on the boards, else near fine in a price-clipped, near fine dustwrapper with a couple of tiny tears and very slight toning. A subversive children's classic, and the basis for two memorable films, first starring Gene Wilder and later Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. A handsome copy. (Inventory #: 331941)
