This old collectable and precious book by Dr. Seuss was first published in 1948. There is a clear copy of the publishing date on the inside, it is the 7 line description (limited first edition is on the market and the publishing information is 8 lines long, it was done in 1948). This book was done by random house as a public offering and is considered a first edition. The cover is blue linen with black buy copy throughout the whole book. The book has original lithographs shown in the photos. The inside of the book is in great condition with a little bit of yellowing to the pages due to the paper used and the age of the book. The dust jacket has aging, but when you consider that children have handled and enjoyed this book for 72 years, the condition of the dust cover is more understandable.
*Vintage items naturally have play or use wear, production imperfections, and traces of age. Please be sure to examine our photos thoroughly as we may have missed something in our description. We considered the photos to be part of the description. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. Thanks for shopping!
