Description: An unbelievably superb copy of the first American edition, signed limited issue. One of 200 numbered copies in the large paper issue printed on Japanese vellum, signed by both A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard on limitation leaf at front. [xiv], 159, [3, blank] pp. Publisher's pink paper over boards with blue cloth spine, pink paper spine label; in publisher's original glassine and box. Very Fine in a dust jacket with a short closed tear to the top edge of the front panel, still also Very Fine. So fresh and sharp, the book and dust jacket appear as if brand new. In original glassine, which is toned and largely intact except for one flap, which is largely detached in two segments, both present. In a Very Good+ publisher's box is stained and toned, with splits to two corners. All housed in a custom folding case, in which the glassine is stored in a paper folder. An incredible survival of a book uncommon in such superlative condition. Quite a marvel to behold.
