Vintage 1951 Minn of the Mississippi by Holling Clancy Holling Newbury Winner

While this decorative, price chipped dustjacket shows substantial wear – chips, tears, rubbing, especially to the front cover – it is also in existence which is not as common for the first edition being a popular children’s book. The jacket has protected the beautiful bright yellow cloth boards as they are in very good condition with only slight edgewear at the spine and tips of the corners. Corners are sharp with no bumping. Black stamped text to cover and spine with a turtle illustration of Minn. The spine is straight with hinges firmly attached to the decorative endpapers. Text block is solid with all pages firmly attached. There is age tanning throughout with slight darkening at the page edges. The interior pages are in excellent condition with no chips, tears, or previous owner markings. 87 pages. Dimensions: H – 11” W – 8-3/4”
