by Roald Dahl

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, (1964).

(Five line colophon on last page).

Blind-stamped red cloth with faded gilt spine titles, mustard endpapers, top page edge colored brown; our supplied dust jacket is priced $3.95 with an ISBN on the lower rear panel.

Dust jacket and interior artwork by Joseph Schendelman.

Fading to the spine, else very good in full red cloth; in a very good (supplied) original dust jacket with light chipping to the spine ends, two short tears to the upper front panel (one with associated creases), and a tear and chip to the upper rear panel.

Laid into this copy:

An early author SIGNED (as Roald) inscription page:

Dated May 1965

"with love xo from Pat & Roald"

Pat, of course, was his first wife the actress Patricia Neal.

This is a front endpaper that was evidently removed from a another book.

(5" by 7")

The page has a minor crease, else near fine with a bit of thin glue residue along the right side of the reverse side where it was neatly removed.
