Wonderful classic hardcover is in good condition. The cover is dirty, has rips and much wear at spine and edges, and purple crayon on the back. The interior blank title pages and end pages have dirt, spotting and crayon marks. But the book is solidly bound and the printed pages, color and black and white illustrations are quite good. With only an occasional mark, the type and pictures are still vibrant. No rips or dog ears. An early edition that would be a nice addition to an antique library!
