Beauty and the Beast

An "evocative retelling" of the classic fairy tale, retold & illustrated by the husband-wife team of Marianna & Mercer Mayer. Unpaginated (50 pages), with brilliant full-page, full-color illustrations throughout text. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing, from 1978, this copy is cheaper than our other listing (#24091) because it is an Ex-Lib copy with the usual stamps & markings & card pocket to ffep/rear endpapers, rather heavy rubbing to extremities, bumped corners. Oblong 8vo has light tan linen cloth-covered boards emblazoned with a gilt rose to front cover/gilt lettering to spine. Condition is Good+, generally quite clean & bright with the occasional smudge from past readers. Binding straight & strong, but a little shaky. Pages white & unmarked, colors vivid. The unclipped DJ is VG+, downgraded due to mild rubbing & wrinkling to extremities, including all corners & both ends of spine. Old mylar has been removed & replaced with new clear cover--looks lovely! 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); later orders, Weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
