first edition Paperback
1942 · New York
New York: Dell Publishing Company, Inc, 1942. Paperback. Unpaginated, about thirty pages, 11x8.5 inch softbound, an oversize kids' book published at ten cents with fullcolor artwork for exterior covers, and monochrome blue and red illustrations (photographs, diagrams) throughout the simple text. Pulpy acidic paperstock, toned of course but better than fragile, edgewear and spotty foxing front and back to both covers, spinefold a little abraded with a split developing at the tail, all in all a rather good copy of this Dell catchpenny.
