MAKE WAY FOR DUCKLINGS<\/strong>
Robert McCloskey     
Book Price: US$ 9000.00<\/p>\n

Description: Good+ in Very good dust jacket. <\/em> <\/p>\n

Looks like this copy was possibly used for review in a magazine or newspaper, as one page towards the center has been exacto knifed out, and at the top there is typewriter print "Sunday Book Page 2 cols ducks". The page was then taped back in with 3 small pieces of clear (now browned) tape on one side, and one long piece of clear (now browned) tape on the other side. Restoration work could probably fix it, but I have not confirmed that. Else the book would be very good. <\/em><\/p>\n

The pages are clean and complete, binding is strong. Light shelfwear, previous owner name neatly inside front cover. The dust jacket has light shelfwear, a little fading at very edge, a couple tiny edgetears and light edgechips. A solid very good. <\/em><\/p>\n

Original price of 2.00 is intact on flap. No medal, of course. First printing with "First Published August 1941" and no other printings listed. Rear flap is a write up of Lentil, and about the author. Potentially the scarcest of the Caldecott winners. 9X12. Illustrated by Robert McCloskey. Bookseller Inventory # 6838<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
