A propos de cet article

Title: Green Eggs and Ham Author: Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) Publisher: Beginner Books / Random House, New York Publication Date: 1960 (First Edition, Early Printing) Binding: Original orange glazed pictorial boards Dust Jacket: Original first-edition dust jacket (price-intact, early state) Condition: Very Good book in Good+ dust jacket (details below) Size: 8vo (approx. 9" x 6.5") Pages: 62 pp., fully illustrated in color ISBN/Points: No ISBN (pre-ISBN era); meets key early identification points including "195/195" price code on inner front flap, B-16 spine code on book and jacket, 1960 copyright with "Distributed by Random House" wording. One of the most iconic and beloved Dr. Seuss titles, famously written under a 50-word limitation as part of a wager with Bennett Cerf. This is a genuine 1960 first edition (the book is first printing/first edition), featuring an early dust jacket state that collectors prize for its transitional and minimalistic design elements. Key Edition & State Details (per Younger & Hirsch and dealer consensus): Inner front flap with original "195/195" price code ($1.95) - scarce on surviving examples. B-16 spine code on both book and jacket (confirms early Beginner Books series placement). Dust jacket front panel has "50 WORD VOCABULARY" printed directly in a boxed area (second-state jacket after the ultra-rare applied-sticker variant). Book boards lack the "50 WORD VOCABULARY" blurb and the "I CAN READ IT ALL BY MYSELF" Cat-in-the-Hat seal/logo – an early production feature before these marketing elements were added to boards. Inner flaps feature the original promotional text emphasizing the book as the "first of a great new series for Beginning Beginner Readers," with only the initial companion titles listed (Put Me in the Zoo by Robert Lopshire and Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman). Rear panel has the classic early "If you're learning to read" progression ad with a short, contemporaneous title list (no later books like Fox in Sox, indicating pre-1965 updates). Title page: "BEGINNER BOOKS, INC. / Distributed by Random House" (early distributed wording). Condition Notes: Book: Very Good - Clean, bright orange boards with light edge/shelf wear consistent with age. Tight binding, no ownership marks, writing, or crayon inside. Pages fresh and bright for the era. Dust Jacket: Good+, Attractive and complete with bright colors, but shows expected 65-year wear: chipping at spine ends and corners, minor edge rubbing, a few short, closed tears, and light soiling/toning to rear panel (no major loss, tape repairs, or restoration). Unclipped and unrestored. Overall: Presents very well for a 1960 survivor; jacket protected in removable archival mylar. The wear adds authentic vintage character without detracting from display appeal. This is not a later reprint, book club, or mass-market copy-it's an authentic early 1960 first edition with a desirable early-state dust jacket (short ad list, no board seal/logo, simple flaps). A wonderful addition to any Dr. Seuss or children's literature collection, and a timeless classic that still delights readers young and old.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to Rosco’s Book Store, a curated haven for collectors and lovers of fantasy and speculative fiction on AbeBooks. We specialize in rare, older, and collectible editions of the genre's most beloved series - focusing on true first editions/first printings, limited and signed copies, deluxe bindings, and complete sets in superior condition. Our passion lies in titles that have shaped modern mythology: the complete Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan's extended Riordanverse, J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth works (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in early impressions or deluxe formats), and other cornerstone series such as The Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, Discworld, The Wheel of Time, and A Song of Ice and Fire. Every book is carefully selected for its scarcity, condition, and historical significance. We seek out items that serious collectors value: correct issue points on first printings, original dust jackets in fine state, signed limited editions, lettered or numbered sets, and anniversary or illustrated deluxe editions produced in small runs. Provenance is documented whenever possible, and each listing includes detailed descriptions and multiple high-resolution photographs so you can assess condition confidently. As lifelong readers and collectors ourselves, we understand the thrill of owning a piece of literary history - the very edition that first introduced millions to Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, or the Shire. Our goal is simple: to help you acquire treasures that will be cherished for generations and, in many cases, appreciate in value. Whether you're completing a landmark collection, searching for the perfect gift, or discovering a rare variant you didn't know existed, we invite you to explore our inventory. Specific wants? Reach out - we maintain a wants list and actively source for collectors. Thank you for visiting. Step inside and let the adventure begin. …
