Dr. Seuss, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, First Printing
Lot Details & Additional Photographs
(New York: Vanguard Press, 1938), quarto, illustrated paper boards, red linen spine, dust jacket present.

This book is a rare first printing of the first edition with the following points noted: the dust jacket retains its $1.50 price on the front flap and $1.00 for Mulberry Street on the back flap; internally, the larger hats are on the cover pastedowns while the smaller hats are on the endpapers.

Well maintained for nearly 80 years, with the consignor admitting that this was "my favorite book."

Lower corners bumped; minor chipping to boards along lower edge; light browning to endpapers; faint diagonal crease to first few leaves; trivial losses to dust jacket edges. Very good condition.

$1,000 - 2,000
