- Lot Description
This book is the famous children’s book Winnie-The-Pooh by A. A. Milne. It is a signed first edition published by Methuen in London in 1926 and meets all the points of issue for the first edition: it has the green cloth binding with illustrations of Pooh and Christopher Robin in gilt on the front cover, the endpapers on front and back show the map of 100 Aker Wood and Pooh Bear’s home, it was published in the UK by Methuen, and the copyright page says it was first published in 1926, with no additional printings. It is also considered a deluxe first edition because it is published in a green binding, it has gilt lettering and decorations on the spine and double-ruled gilt borders on the covers, and only 3000 copies of the deluxe first edition were ever published - 1000 in green, 1000 in red, and 1000 in blue; the regular first edition has just a title and author in gilt letters on the spine and single gilt-ruled borders on the covers.
The book is 7 1/2 x 5 inches wide and is signed by Milne on the title page, it has the double-gilt ruled borders on the covers, the gilt-decorated spine, the map of Aker Wood on the endpapers (with a bookseller’s label in the bottom left corner of the front endpapers), followed by blank endpapers, the half-title, and the title page, the copyright page says “First Published in 1926” and “Printed in Great Britain” below the logo at the bottom of the page, an Introduction on pages ix and x, a list of Contents on page xi, 158 pages of text with numerous illustrations by E Shepard, an illustration by Shepard after page 158, it was printed by Jarrold and Sons in Norwich, according to the last page before the rear endpapers, all the edges are gilt, and it has the original green ribbon marker inside.
The book lacks the original glassine dust jacket and the original paper box the book came in, but it is clean and tight, with wear at the heel, crown, and at the tips, the ribbon marker is split part-way down, and an attractive deluxe edition for anyone looking for a signed copy of this rare and wonderful children’s book.
Size: 5 x 7 1/2 x 3/4 in.
