- Lot Description
This book is the large paper edition of Winnie-The-Pooh by A A Milne. It is a signed first edition published by Methuen in London in 1926, with the dark blue spine and light blue boards, a clean paste-down label on the front board as called for, blank endpapers, the half-title followed by the title page, and the limitation page says the book was made on handmade paper in 1926, it was signed by A. A. Milne and by Ernest H. Shepard, the illustrator, and it is number 329 of only 350 copies that were ever printed, so a rare book indeed. It has a two-page Introduction (ix and x), a list of Contents (page x), 158 pages of text, a fold-out map of 100 Aker Wood at the rear with tissue guards protecting the map, blank endpapers at the rear, and a dust jacket.
The page after the last illustration says the book was printed by Jarrold and Sons in Norwich too, and it measures 8 3/4 x 7 inches wide.
The dust jacket has the correct 42/- Net price on the spine and has served its purpose very well, because the label on the front cover and both boards are very clean, the book is clean and tight, and the only condition issues we could find are light wear at two tips, a faint brown spot on page 55, the hinges have faint shadows along the joints, and the dust jacket has chips and splits on the spine and there is tape on the vertical strip of the spine - we don’t know whether it is archival tape or not and we chose not to remove it - and part of the author’s name is missing at the top of the spine, and there is light browning and wear along the top of the dust jacket. Still a rare copy of this signed and numbered title b A. A. Milne.
Size: 7 1/4 x 9 x 1 in.
