Rags, Tatters and Bill: being the further adventures of "Rags, M.D."
London & New York: Frederick Warne and Co., Ltd., 1934. First edition. Hardcover. 94pp, with many illustrations in line, and three colour plates. Pages generally quite clean, with occasional grubby margins. The blank lower part of the Contents page has been neatly excised. The bottom edge of p21/22 has a repaired 1.5" closed tear. Pictorial endpapers toned. On the front fly is the first owner's name and address in an adult hand, and their attractive bookplate is fixed to the back of the frontis. 8.5x6.5ins, in the original ochre paper-coloured boards, decorated and titled to the front in green, and with a green cloth spine titled in blue. The binding is firm, mottled and lightly soiled, scuffed and slightly bumped at the corners, and the spine is dulled: the spine ends are crimped, and the ends and joints are rubbed. A good copy. Full of charm, and a scarce title. Good+. Item #19349080
