About This Item
Hardcover first edition, with dust jacket, published by Doubleday, 1963. In which Richard Scarry adapts 31 fables by the 17th Century French writer, La Fontaine. Each one illustrated with his distinctive animals. 8-1/2" X 11", 60 pages, sewn binding. The dust jacket is not price clipped, with the original price of $3.25 appearing on the interior top corner of the front flap. The dust jacket has a tear at the front bottom, through the rabbit wearing the red cap, and a large chip on the back bottom. The chip on the back is about 1" tall by 2-1/2" across. Several smaller chips and short tears as well. Though the dust jacket has been covered with a clear, removable protective cover. This is not a library discard copy. The binding is intact and the text is clean, with no writing, and no former ownership marks on the text. The sewn binding is still tight with all pages intact with no looseness to the text pages. Tips of the corners of the cover boards are worn and show spots of exposure. Attached are photos of the copy we have in our inventory.
