Measures 5-11/16" X 7-29/32", 282+ pp, written by Cole Fannin, cover art by PAUL SOUZA, two-tone endpapers & interior art by JOHN HAMPTON, glossy hardcover published by Whitman Publishing Co. (WI), Whitman catalog #2371:49.
This is a first printing, since it includes a "2300" number on the rear cover (instead of the later "1500" series numbers printed most often on the lower spine edges); and also since the title lists at the end of the book also list WALT DISNEY'S PETER PAN, which was only available (for a very short time) as a dust-jacketed hardcover. Also listed are ROY ROGERS - THE TRAIL OF THE ZEROS (another limited edition title), and ROY ROGERS - THE RIMROD RENEGADES, and GENE AUTRY - THE BIG VALLEY GRAB, which were all released in 1954 as limited printings. The title page notes that GENE AUTRY has (by 1954) also become a star of television. A nice, clean, beautiful edition for the Whitman glossy collector!
Shipping charges include postage (including USPS Tracking on domestic shipments), packaging materials, labor and fuel (the nearest post office is 14 MILES away!); but I do combine shipping charges on multiple items -- so fill up that cart NOW an' save some $$$!
