Very nice, clean book with no names or writing and no bumps to boards. Pages clean and tightly bound. Only defect ro book itself is a poem about books printed on a sticker that resembles a bookplate and is affixeds to thefront free endpaper (see photo). The jacket is likewise clean, but shows chipping to top of spine and to upper right corner at front. Has also been price-clipped. A page turner mystery which involves danger and is set against the backfrop of the Christmas holiday. 184 pages. View More...
Book is clean and tightly bound with no names or writing. No dustjacket, but boards are cute and Christmas green. Looks like a children's book, but upon closer inspection proves to be a humorous take-off on Clement Moore's famous "The Night Before Christmas" -- with a few winks for grown-ups! The color and fabric of a Panamanian holiday shines through, as do the Panamanian people from the lottery vendors and C.Z. police to the commissary vendors and soldiers and sailors. Even the cockroaches and termites get a nod! This WAS 1935 though, so don't expect it to be P.C.. Nonetheless it's good natu... View More...

This is a charming little book, the kind that small people are wont to "decorate" and/or relieve of its pages. Fortunately, all pages are here and there is no scribbling. The story is cute, but the art of Margaret Evans Price is the show stealer. An interesting sideline is this fact -- while being am illustrator, Evans and her husband were creating a toy company known to this day as Fisher-Price. The booklet measures 7-1/2" x 10-1/2" and has just 14 counted pages. Every other page is either in full color or in blue and orange. The booklet measures 7-1/2"x10-1/2". View More...

Book is very clean and nice with a handsome green pictorial front board showing a bucolic scene set in a cicle surrounded by an ivy wreath. Book shows a small flat crease to lower back corner and verys slight wear to bottom front corner at spine. Former owenr's name and address is penciled on the front free endpaper, but could easily be removed.
