London: Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press. Good with no dust jacket. [1919]. First Edition. Hardcover. Large format book 4to with 16 color plates. The book is in fair+ to good-minus condition (for a 100-year-old children's book!). The covers are rubbed along the edges and corners, brown cloth spine cover is cracked in a few spots and a bit worn. Interior pictorial end papers have some gluing ripples and general age, with some pencil erasures. Some of the pages are starting to loosen especially at the bottom gutter. Some of the plates have some chipping along the fore - or bottom edges with loss to the black borders. Text pages are a bit toned and one page has incipient cracks near the gutter. Binding is shaken but holding. This is a very scarce Aldin title about a family of rabbits and their friends and adventures. It is a large format book measuring 10" x 11.5", with hard paper covers and a cloth spine. The brilliantly graphic plates are on heavy stock with black borders around each one. There are also numerous text illustrations in black and white. ; Color Illustrations; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
