This VG-/VG- format 1, per Mattson & Davis (7-5/8 " gray cloth with black lettering; front cover has picture of boy in red & black looking in a window, spine has logo of magnifying glass and fingerprint also in red & black; plain end pages; frontis + 3, all on coated paper [early printings had color frontis which duplicates the dust jacket illustration, which is what this book has]. White coated paper dust jacket, pictorial, white with a different 5-1/4" x 4" scene, in colors, for each book, duplicating the frontis of each book; white spine with magnifying glass / fingerprint logo). The exterior is square, very clean, with very minor bumping to both bottom corners and to the head and heel of the spine, all without fabric damage. Other than an attractive bookplate on the front paste down (see photo), the book is otherwise free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and page damage. The color frontis + 3 is intact, hinges are strong, and the paper is very flexible. The jacket is complete with mild soiling and a 1" closed tear (not taped) on the bottom of the rear panel; there are also very tiny chips at the head and heel of the spine (see photo). Overall, a quite attractive book and jacket.…
