About This Item
This collection of children's stories by Gertrude Stein is amazingly entertaining and includes her famous "Rose Is A Rose." Published in 1939, this first edition is bound in white that is gold-stamped on the front with a circle of "Rose is a Rose." The spine, also stamped with author name and title and publisher, is darkened somewhat, and the spine edge of the boards likewise a bit soiled (probably can be cleaned). However, inside, the endpapers and text are spotless, very fine condition. The box of blue and white is soiled on the edge and has bumps and scratches. fair condition but intact and works to protect the book. Copy has signatures of Stein and Hurd, one of the 350 signed copies produced (no number).
