This book by Shel Silverstein titled WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS is a hardcover edition published by Harper & Row in 1974. It features beautiful illustrations by the author and is a first edition with a dust jacket. The book is in its original form and has not been personalized. The subject matter is children's poetry, making it a perfect addition to any collection of books for kids. It was printed in the United States and has no listed California Prop 65 Warnings. Per many hours or research I can say many sellers of this exact book will call it a First Edition because if the following indicators; 1174 front dust jacket stamp, page 50 is titled "The Gypsies are Coming", back dust jacket includes an ad for the Giving Tree, front dust cover flap contains the price $8.95 as opposed from the first print $7.95. Since these are known indications of a first edition without stating first edition. The best way I can describe it would be a First Edition not first printing but a printing of the first edition within a couple of years of the first printing.
