About this Item

This is one of the recently "BANNED SIX" Dr. Seuss books. It is NOT a book club edition and arguably the most elusive of the six titles! It is NOT a first edition but it is an early 1960's printing. It has no ISBN and includes a very nice jacket and a rather mysterious Dr. Seuss-like drawing! Hardback book with dust jacket. The jacket is NOT price-clipped (295/295) on the front flap. There is some rubbing and a light red mark on the "S" in EGGS" and the "r" in "Super" on the cover. There are some small chips/tears/folds and a four larger tears (less than 1 1'2") but it presents very well under the clear mylar cover I've added. The matte (not the later shiny) picture cover book has some wear along the edges, corners and spine ends. There is a long gift inscription inside the front cover "To Granddaddy on your 87th birthday.August 15, 1969." Someone has added a doodle of a ship in the style of Dr. Seuss.pretty darling.I wonder who did that! The text pages are very clean and neat; there are no page tears or folds. The page which begins "The places I hiked to!" has a character hidden in the grass in the Dr. Seuss artwork and someone has written very neatly and discreetly (and drawn an arrow) "there he is". There is light age-toning on the back endpapers. Check out the photos! SCARCE WITH THE EARLY JACKET which is a 1960's printing because of the titles on the back (first section ends in Solla Sollew, "And for Beginning Readers" section ends in "Fox in Socks").
