by Seuss, Dr
New York: Random House, Inc, 1963. Very good plus.. First edition, first printing of this simple Seuss alphabet book, injecting the ABCs with fantastical fun. In typical Seuss fashion, the good doctor manages to turn a mundane educational topic into a weird and wonderful romp, with letters being used for both normal words and more "creative" constructions. This copy comes directly from the stock of Aleph-Bet Books, the firm of Seuss bibliographers Helen Younger and Marc Younger. 9'' x 6.5''. Original color pictorial boards. Original unclipped (195/195) color pictorial dust jacket without Fox in Socks on rear flap list (ref. Younger). Color pictorial (truncated)
