Mittens

New York, New York: Smithmark, 1998. First Thus . Hardcover. Fine/VG-. Newberry, Clare Turlay. This charming story of a boy, Richard, whose beloved kitten, Mittens, goes missing, was selected as on the 50 Books of the Year by the American Institute of Graphic Arts for the delicate watercolor drawings by the author throughout its 29 pages. Orig. published in 1936, it is brought back for a fresh generation of readers in this new edition from Smithmark from 1998 (First, Thus), a First Printing. The oblong hardcover book is in Near Fine condition: just about flawless, but a tad less crisp than Brand New! Only flaw is a strangely shaped white faded area to top edge of back cover. Otherwise, completely clean & tight, binding strong & straight, pages white & unmarked, colors bright. The unclipped DJ is equally clean & right, but downgraded to VG- due to that same white fading at top of back cover & slight edgewear here, too.Our photos depict the Ex act book you will receive from us, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
