MacDonald, Betty: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle HB/DJ 1st/1st

Publisher: Lippincott, 1947

This is a stated first printing of this classic title about the neighbor who could solve any problem. The front piece and interior are black and white.

The book is in VG+/Near Fine condition. A really nice copy with just some minor spotting and handling.

The unclipped ($2.00) duotone jacket is in VG+ condition. Some minor soiling and scuffs around the edges. There is a bit of fading and a faint water stain.

The book has 4 square corners. There is no writing or marks in the book.

This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight.

Please note:
  • The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.)
  • If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart.

  • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
