First edition (first printing, with a numberline ending in 1). A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some tanning to the white spine. Caldecott Medal sticker on the front cover.
Very nicely inscribed with a drawing of a burglar to Stephen Jay Gould, referencing Gould's love of baseball: "February 25, 1992, to Stephen Jay Gould [drawing] Crime pays but not in baseball. David Macaulay."
Gould was one of the leading evolutionary theorisst of his era, a popular science writer, and a big baseball fan.

Synopsis
Four stories are told simultaneously, with each double-page spread divided into quadrants. The stories do not necessarily take place at the same moment in time, but are they really one story?
