This listing is for a REALLY RARE SIGNED 1979 1st Edition/1st Printing THE GARDEN OF ABDUL GASAZI
by the multiple CALDECOTT award-winning author and master illustrator CHRIS VAN ALLSBURG!!
is signed with archival pen on a loose laid in official Van Allsburg bookplate with only his signature (no inscriptions or personalizations - see pictures above)...
Condition is as follows: The only flaw is there is an original owner's gift inscription on the back of the title page (see pictures). It has no foxing or lean to the spine and the text block is solid. It is remarkable that this has survived in this amazing condition over the last 40 years!
This book is great - if you are a Chris Van Allsburg fan, collect Caldecott winning author/illustrator's books, or are a fan of the Polar Express movie, then this will be a great addition to your collection!
