Description

ND. [1904 - WorldCat]. Exceptionally scarce complete five volume set of The Piccaninnies Picture Pocket Books in original slipcase. All books in VG order with crisp white decoration and titling to red boards and clean and bright text and illustrations (by several noted hands). Only fault of any significance is rubbing of the titles to spines and light shaking. Other minor issues noted below. Complete with heavily worn and crudely repaired original slipcase, branded 'The Piccaninnies Library' to lid. Topsy In Toyland: final page of text has some surface loss and small mark to board. Stories From Puppyland: minor foxing to two pages. This is a charity sale for Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Each volume 48mo and 96pp.
