| Description: |
| [8], 211 pp. Illustrated with 8 color plates by W.W. Denslow with text on the versos; black and white illustrations in the text and some full page; how-to assemble directions for all 6 waddle toy die-cuts illustrated on the last 3 pages, unused Waddle sheets present between pages 46/47, 94/95, 143/144. (8vo) 9x7, olive-green cloth, color pictorial cover label, pictorial dust jacket. First Edition, First State. |
| Includes the rare 6 die-cut "waddle toys," the Waddles themselves are still in their flat cardboard panel state, never removed or assembled. The folding yellow brick road on which the assembled Waddles walked is not present. The waddle toys are printed in colors on a thin stock cardboard and intended to be assembled with metal hip connectors (not present). Very rare to find a copy with all six of the Waddles present, exceedingly so to find them in the original unused state. This is the first state, with publisher's imprint at foot of spine. Hanff & Greene I, pp. 35-36, Plate 7; Bienvenue & Schmidt, p. 12. |
| Condition: |
| Several chips and short tears to jacket edges, wear at jacket folds and edges; minor wear to volume, small nick at bottom edge of front cover; near fine in a very good jacket. |
