In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Illustrated orange paper over boards, with black and white workmen on both front and back cover. This copy is just back to us from the conservation lab where a new spine has been added, with orange cloth (a very good match for the original and much more durable) has been added, a…nd laid underneath the original on the boards, except where there were some tears. Otherwise all original and all tight. Corners bumped. A red crayon squiggle on the front endpaper. No date anywhere (but it appears only to have been published once). Unpaginated. A scarce Margaret Wise Brown title published under a pseudonym. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it's an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book (although sometimes they do get it right).

In den WarenkorbZustand: Very good minus. First Edition. Rare signed first edition of this rare Margaret Wise Brown pseudonymous title, inscribed by illustrator Bill Ballantine, who he gave up his career to join the circus the next year in 1947. Publisher William R. Scott was a small business owned by a couple who lived on a farm in Vermont; th…ey used their barn as their book warehouse. Brown became their editor and principal writer in 1938. Despite receiving payments and royalties below the industry standard, Brown worked with them for years because she believed in their innovative approach to creative education books - which are now highly sought by collectors. This book shows what "fix-it men" do underneath the streets and in the air, with jolly illustrations by Ballantine. The same year this book was published, Ballatine traveled on assignment with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The next year, he quit publishing and literally ran away to the circus, becoming a professional clown. 9.5'' x 7.75''. Original orange pictorial boards. Illustrated in color by Ballantine. [40] pages. Inscribed by Ballantine on verso of title page: "For J. Dugan / who is always there / Bill Ballantine." A bit of soiling and a few marginal closed tears to leaves. Corners worn; chipping with loss to spine, carefully repaired. Signed.
