Condition: Very Good
Description: Mixed state, folio size, 47 pp., with dust jacket. "The first hat was old and battered, but it had a fine feather stuck in it of which any little boy would be proud." A favourite Dr. Seuss story, which, of course, "turned out very happily" (n.b., quotes from dust jacket flap). This volume a mixed state: the hill is in one continuous line spanning the pages (first issue) instead of a broken line and has the correct prices on the jacket flaps. However, the endpapers are not the first issue, which have the large hats on the pastedowns and the small hats on the free endpapers; this copy has the small hats on the pastedowns and the large hats on the free endpapers. ___DESCRIPTION: Red cloth spine, the boards covered with flat paper in black, red, and white, pictorial endpapers in red depicting a swarm of hats, the title page with a small illustration of the hat, illustrated throughout in red and black; folio size (12" by 9 1/8"), unpaginated with the title (and copyright) pages plus 45 pages of text. The dust jacket with a large picture of Bartholomew holding two hats with white and black lettering, the front flap with a summary of the book and the correct first edition price of $1.50, rear flap with review blurbs and "Mulberry Street - $1.00" at the bottom, back panel with a single hat. ___CONDITION: Overall a very good book, the boards clean, a strong text block with solid hinges, the interior pages clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a bit of rubbing to the corners and the bottom edges of the boards, a shallow vertical crease showing on both boards, some dustiness and light sunning to the head and tail of the spine, offsetting to the endpapers, and the text block slightly cocked. The jacket is good only, with light overall wear to the panels and flaps, a water ring on the back panel, considerable wear to the spine with a chip at the bottom approx. two inches, a prior owner affixed cello tape to the jacket verso above the chip where there were closed tears, the same at the head of the spine; we assume the same prior owner attempted to colour some of the white paper along the joints in a red colour which does not exactly match the red of the paper jacket. ___CITATION: Younger & Hirsch no. 22. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Description: First edition, early printing of Seuss's unique book of prose. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the pastedown, "For Maurice with many thanks for the Future! Dr. Seuss." The recipient, Maurice Sendak, is best known for his immensely popular illustrated childrenâs book, Where the Wild Things Are, which was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964 and gained him international fame. Sendak acquired the present volume, which had been previously signed by Seuss on the verso of the front free endpaper "For Alice, Best Wishes - Dr. Seuss", and brought it to the July 1, 1980 American Library Association Conference in New York where Seuss inscribed it personally to him, as is notated in Sendak's small ownership inscription above Seuss's. At that time, Sendak and Seuss would have been two of the most popular, and perhaps even controversial best-selling children's author in attendance. Sendak's career was launched in 1952 with the publication of Ruth Krauss's A Hole Is to Dig. Their author-illustrator collaboration, facilitated by Harper & Row publisher and editor-in-chief of juvenile books Ursula Nordstrom, became something of a cultural phenomenon, spawning a host of imitators of their âunrulyâ and ârebelliousâ child protagonists. Now one of the scarcest and most desirable books in modern childrenâs literature, Sendakâs Where the Wild Things Are faced many opponents and was banned in several libraries upon publication in 1963. Its challengers accused the work as being âtoo darkâ and âtraumatizingâ to young children due to its often frightening imagery." It would become one of many âgood books for bad childrenâ edited and published by Nordstrom who disliked the genteel, sentimental tone of earlier American childrenâs literature and sought to change its purpose to appeal to childrenâs imaginations and emotions, rather than serve as adult-approved morality tales. American childrenâs author and illustrator Theodore Seuss Geisel produced some of the most popular childrenâs books of all time under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Although most recognized for his vivid and original drawing style, Geiselâs works also carried a complexity that went beyond the function of entertaining children; many of his works had an autobiographical undertone and were written to be intentionally divergent from traditional childrenâs books. Rather than write stories to convey morals to children, many of Geiselâs stories expressed strong views on current social and political issues. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. An exceptional association. Unlike the majority of Geisel's books, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins was written in prose rather than rhyming and metered verse. Geisel, who collected hats, got the idea for the story on a commuter train from New York to New England, while he was sitting behind a businessman wearing a hat; the passenger was so stiff and formal that Geisel idly wondered what would happen if he took the man's hat and threw it out the window. Geisel concluded that the man was so "stuffy" that he would just grow a new one. The book received positive reviews from critics. The New York Times reviewer called the book "a lovely bit of tomfoolery which keeps up the suspense and surprise until the end." Booklist, which had criticized Geisel's previous book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, for containing only enough material for one comic strip, praised The 500 Hats as "a brand-new idea, developed into a complete tale, not too long, not too short, just right. Somewhere between the Sunday supplements and the Brothers Grimm, Dr. Seuss has produced a picture book combining features of both."
