The scarce FIRST EDITION, First Printing (with appropriate points) of the book that introduced the American world to the beloved monkey, Curious George, in 1941; he had appeared in the authors' native France 2 years earlier. Small quarto (8.75" x 10.5") has salmon cloth-covered boards (faded from a brighter red) stamped in brown to front, brown lettering to spine. Condition is Poor: this book was well-loved & much read by previous owners, showing soil, unclosed tears to many pages, 1 page completely torn, top to bottom, but both halves present. Two children's names in pencil & pen to "This book belongs to" page, rear free endpaper torn out. Both boards are faded & soiled, with heavy rubbing to extremities & significant fraying along bottom edges. But it's that elusive First Edition! NO DJ. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
