Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition. Seven chromolithograph plates by Jessie Wilcox Smith (3) and Elizabeth Shippen Green (4). Square folio. Quarter gray cloth with papercovered illustrated boards. About very good with moderate wear at the now rounded corners, some scattered scrapes with some creasing on the rear board and offsetting on the endpapers from the dustwrapper; interior pages remain supple and fresh. A landmark children's book with stories by Humphrey accompanied by lavish illustrations by Smith and Green, produced by a top-notch printer. A nice copy of a book usually found in greatly distressed condition and with remnants of the rare dustwrapper laid in.
