The Christopher Robin Story Book. A.A.Milne. 1929. Ist Ed. Published by Methuen, London, 1929.

The Christopher Robin Story Book is a collection of short stories and tales from the A.A. Milne Winnie-the-Pooh books. It features the original illustrations from Ernest Shepard. A rare first edition with first published in 1929 on verso of title page.

The book is in, what I consider to be clean used order. Case of book is sound. Publishers light blue cloth with gilt titles and illustration to front and gilt titles and decoration to spine. Gilt border to front board. Both boards and spine show age related marks/wear/rubs. There are light shelf rubs top/bottom of spine. Bumping and rubs to corners of boards.  Front hinge is sound (third image) as is rear hinge. Illustrated endpapers. The half title page has two additional illustrations neatly attached below the title, above is a Christmas 1929 dedication with a light mark to its left, please see fourth image. Some separation down blank front end paper and half title page, pages still well attached. Internally the book is generally clean and bright. There are areas of relaxation throughout the book and I've shown examples in the images. These pages are still well attached and much of the book is still tightly bound but please be aware and view the images of the pages. Like all books of this vintage it will benefit from careful handling. The closed book block shows some age spots and there will be the odd age spots and tanning internally. Please be aware this is a vintage item, nearly 100 years old, & it will show signs of age and use throughout. I am happy to answer any queries you may have in relation to the title, will do my best to answer same day. Please ask before bidding. Will include FREE careful postage and packing via Royal Mail with the relevant insurance in place. Thank you.

I'm the (not so) fortunate nominee chosen to dispose of a large collection of books that have been in our family for many years. We've also moved house recently and I've made up my mind to make (some) inroads into our own collection of books. Some weird and wonderful titles, many very rare, particularly from the family library. I'll be listing them whenever time allows. Please keep dipping into the listings as I'm working my way through a large assortment of different books (and some other small/postable items). Any book dealers/collectors that would be interested in offering on a number of books, in one lot, then I will always do my best to shave the price by as much as possible. This would only apply to books listed as B.I.N. (I'll let the auctions run to give a fair chance to anyone interested). Please just get in touch with a list of what you're interested in and I'll get back to you with a price...same day in most cases. Thank you.

I have given what I consider to be a fair and accurate description but if you have any questions at all about anything, please just ask.....before bidding. Please study the large images above to get an idea of the condition of the item........as usual any questions I am very happy to respond. Book(s) will always be carefully packed. I always obtain a proof of posting from the Post Office when your item(s) is/are dispatched.
