***** This is a very nice later printing of the first edition. It is a pre-1970 printing (there is no mention of White's 1970 award of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal). ***** This book is SIGNED by the author (E. B. White) on the second page. The author has not inscribed this book to anyone; it is just signed by the author. ***** Signed examples of this title are very rare. ***** Nice hardcover with dust jacket. There is NO writing, NO bookplates, and NO remainder marks. It is NOT a book club edition and NOT a former library book. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped ($3.25).***** CONDITION: The book is in FINE condition, and the dust jacket is in NEAR FINE condition (bottom corner of inside front flap clipped, as usual with this dust jacket). ***** We include new mylar (clear) dust jacket protectors with all books at no charge. ***** OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU: All books are guaranteed to be as described. We believe that no sale is complete until you are happy. Any book is returnable for a full refund (including postage) if you're not 100% satisfied. All books are packaged very carefully and shipped via USPS Mail with Delivery Confirmation. Thank you! Richard Vick, Modern First Editions (Buying and Selling Modern First Editions since 1982).
