Griffin and the Minor Canon by Frank Stockton. With Illustrations by Maurice Sendak

Griffin and the Minor Canon by Frank Stockton. With Illustrations by Maurice Sendak. Holt, Rinehart and Winston. Holt Library Edition. (Not ex-library, but an edition designed to be sent to libraries) (1963) First Edition - stated. Hardcover with no dust jacket. Illustrated cloth cover. Light cover wear. Cover a bit soiled, particularly on the back cover. Inside the front cover is a label thatr has been partially removed: "Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc....return postage guaranteed...e return to children's book dept." My guess is that some copies of this book were sent to some libraries to see if they wanted to purchase to be placed in the library. This copy may have been sent to somebody for their review, and we don't know if the book was ebver returned, but it obviously did not remain in the Holt Chidren's Dept. My guess is that these copies are quite scarce not having been processed by a library. I see no reference to a copylike this either in bibliography or on line. I would certainly accept  ffeedback in this regard. Not ex-library, not remaindered, not a facsimile reprint. More photos available on request. For sale by Jon Wobber, bookseller since 1978. CE08a
