Nice condition copy of "THE HOLE BOOK" by Peter Newell. 1908 1st edition; Harper & Brothers; New York. With color illustrations on every other page by Newell. The book is a rhyming poem about a boy who accidentally fires a gun - the bullet goes through the wall of his house and travels through various settings throughout the neighborhood, causing chaos. Each page has an actual hole at the center, which is incorporated into the illustration.

Light soiling to the covers; the front cover has a couple scratch lines; tiny cloth tears at the corner tips and at the top and bottom edges of the spine. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. The pages are in nice condition with some occasional light stains/smudge; a few pages have a 1/2" tear at an outer edge, and one page has a larger 1" tear at the outer edge. Name written in pencil on the front end paper...no other writing found. Overall the book is in very good condition.
