HOT !FILA THE CARROT SEED HARDCOVER WITH JACKET 1960'S HARPER & ROW RUTH KRAUSS

EARLY HARPER & ROW PRINTING OF THE 1945 CLASSIC BY RUTH KRAUSS, ILLUSTRATED BY CROCKETT JOHNSON. THE ORIGINAL PUBLISHER WAS HARPER & BROTHERS. THIS INCLUDES THE 10- DIGIT TRADE ISBN NUMBER, USED FROM 1967 TO ABOUT 1970, WHEN THE 13 DIGIT VERSION WAS INTRODUCED. CONDITION: JACKET: VERY GOOD WITH SOME SOILING AND EDGE WEAR AND MINOR DAMAGE TO TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES OF SPINE. BOOK:  THERE IS A WRITTEN NAME AND WRITTEN "JJC NURSERY" ON FRONT END PAPER/PASTE DOWN. THERE IS ALSO A BLUE STAMP ON THE END PAPER THAT BLED THROUGH A BIT TO THE REVERSE OF THE PAGE. THE REMAINDER OF THE BOOK IS CLEAN AND BRIGHT WITH MINIMAL HANDLING CREASES. A VERY NICE COPY.         I utilize a third party shipper for international sales. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you. For International Buyers:  Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper.    wall   MEDIA MAIL: The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but, in rare cases, it is not and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed.
