Bannertail: The Story of a Graysquirrel

Another in the author's series of animal portraits designed to introduce both children & adults to a new way of looking at nature & her creatures, in 265 pages + 8 full-page plates & numerous marginal pen-and-ink drawings by the author throughout the text. Orig. published in 1922, this is a slightly later printing (1926) of that FIRST EDITION, & it's a beauty: exceptionally well preserved under the protection of the scarce DJ! Octavo has deep chocolate brown cloth-covered boards embossed with gilt lettering & design to front & spine, with a paper pastedown depicting a squirrel family to front, rimmed in gilt. Condition is Fine: remarkably clean & bright, binding straight & strong, pages creamy white with modest but even tanning. The DJ is VG, marred by minor edgewear all around, including chipping at all corners & both ends of spine; nicely protected in new mylar cover free! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
