100.000 pochemu: puteshestvie po komnate [100,000 Whys: A Trip Around the Room]

Moscow: OGIZ / Molodai?a? Gvardii?a, 1933. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Third edition. Illustrated by Nikolai Lapshin. 16mo. 148 [3] pp. Text in Russian. Gift inscription on front fly, modest wear, small cover stain, very good in stained and worn, good only dust jacket with chips and tears. Published in an English edition, translated from the Russian by Beatrice Kinkead, the same year (G. Routledge & Sons). Kinkead appears to have translated several works by Marshak and Lapshin in the 1930s. The Russian edition appears to be very uncommon; we admit our Russian isn't flawless but we have been unable to locate another copy. (Inventory #: 539642)
