When We Were Very Young
By
A A Milne
Methuen & Co, London - 1924
First Edition / First Printing
**The Very Rare First Winnie The Pooh Book**
**Very Nice Condition + 1 of Only 1500 Published**
I am delighted to offer for auction an original First Edition / First Printing of the exceptionally scarce first book from the Winnie The Pooh series ' When We Were Very Young'. Published in 1924 this children's classic is in very nice condition for it's age pres...enting well. There were only 1500 First Editions published back in 1924 so surviving examples are scarce more so in this condition. A delight for the collector and worthy of any shelf.
Book Info: When We Were Very Young, Methuen, London 1924: First Edition / First Printing. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covers with bright gilt titles and decorations. This book presents very well indeed with nice bright covers on the whole and minimal signs of age. The spine has toned a touch and there are a couple of very light marks else super. Internally the book is again very good with the plain white endpapers as called for which can only be found on the First Edition. Clean, bright pages throughout with no graffiti and no foxing etc. One neat owner name to the ffep else untouched. Strong hinges and tight margins with bright gilt to the page tops. The book correctly shows one date of 1924 to the verso of the title page again showing this to be the true First Edition / First Printing. Beautifully illustrated throughout by E H Shepard.
A super book and much better than most that turn up, when they do.
**From this evening i am running a sizable auction with many more First Editions by Ian Fleming, Tolkien, Austen, Milne, Carroll, etc etc so please take some time to browse through my other listings.**
Happy to post worldwide.
