Good hardcover book in good dust jacket; the book is clean, tight, square, and -- but for Maurice Sendak's inscription and SIGNATURE on the first free end page with a previous owner's inscription above it (see photos) -- free of any markings showing lightly age-toned pages but otherwise showing only light additional evidence of having been previously gently read; price clipped dust jacket shows light to moderate rubbing and age-toning to the panels, a significant damp stain on the back panel edge, and light shelf and edge wear especially at the spine ends which show light chipping (see photos) but otherwise remains in good condition; published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux 1969; written by George MacDonald and illustrated in black and white by Maurice Sendak; purchaser signature may be required upon delivery.
