first edition Pictorial boards
1957 · New York
by Crockett Johnson
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1957. Pictorial boards. Very Good +/Good +. Crockett Johnson. A perfectly serviceable copy of the 1957 1st edition of this, the 3rd title in Crockett Johnson's wonderful "Harold and the Purple Crayon" series. Solid and VG+ (small, very neat inscription at the front free endpaper) in a bright, price-clipped, Good+ only dustjacket, with notable creasing and chipping and several small closed tears along the panel edges, and pronounced soiling to the rear panel. Still though, not an umattractive copy, even a solid "starter" copy. (Inventory #: 21292)
