About This Item
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by New American Library, 1967. This is the book club edition. The story of Stalin's daughter, from her childhood, to her defection to the United States in 1967. As this was published in 1967, the focus is mostly on her very recent defection and the international furor that resulted. 216 pages with a section of photos, 5-5/8" X 8-1/2". Dark green cloth covered boards, with the title imprinted on the spine in black. Cover boards are flat, the corners are not bumped or worn. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. The edges of the text block show a few dots of age tanning. The dust jacket has some short, closed tears to the top edge, and the spine panel is sun faded. The dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. The front paste-down and flyleaf pages have panels of age tanning - most likely from having a news clipping stored there ? Not a remainder, not a library discard. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
