1959 · New York
by Crockett Johnson
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1959. Pictorial boards. Very Good +/Very Good. Crckett Johnson. A solid copy of the 1959 1st edition of this, the 5th title in the wonderful "Harold and the Purple Crayon" series. Tight and VG+ (light abrading along the front panel's upper tip) in a bright, price-intact ($1.50), VG dustjacket, with very light creasing --and several small closed tears-- to the panel edges, minor soiling at the rear panel and just a touch of light chipping at the spine ends. Still though, attractive and very presentable. 64mo (miniature), "An Astounding, Colossal, Purple Crayon Event!" (from the title page). (Inventory #: 18922)
