About This Item
New York: E. P. Dutton, 1928. First American edition, limited to 250 copies and signed by Milne and Shepard.. Very Good. 20 cm; 178, [2] pages, illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Shepard throughout. In salmon cloth ruled in gilt, with gilt-stamped image of Christopher Robin and Tigger on upper board, and Pooh on the spine. All edges gilt. This copy numbered 101 and signed. Justification page reads "This edition on Large Paper published in 1928, is limited to 250 numbered and signed copies...." The words "on Large Paper" have been blacked out. No dust jacket. Some very light fading of the cloth on the spine, and minor shelf wear on the bottom edge and at spine ends. Overall an excellent copy.
Synopsis
The House at Pooh Corner (1928) is the second volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard. It is notable for the introduction of the character Tigger, who went on to become a prominent figure in the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise. The title comes from a story in which Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore. In another story the game of Poohsticks is invented.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
