A Fine copy, in a Near Fine dust jacket (a little hair loss), in a Near Fine original, unrepaired box (some foxing and age, prior seller's notes to outside of box bottom, a portion of the paper on the interior upper right corner of the box bottom was not properly attached to the box itself) of this classic Children's tale. Harper's published the book in a genuine rabbit-fur dust jacket, die cutting a hole in the box top through which the fur protrudes, allowing the customer to feel the fur as an enticement to purchase. Contrary to Harper's expectations, the public were not enthused by the dust jacket, but instead were put off by it. The book is not common with all components (book, jacket, and box) in a condition this nice. A quite nice copy.
