Nearly all books are hard back, Very Good to Fine condition and include the often elusive dust jacket. All dust jackets are protected in a mylar sleeve. Most are also first editions. The books are priced to sell and popular items will go quickly so check back often. Although I try my best to describe each book, please use the pictures as the best judge of condition and ask questions if there is anything specific you would like to know regarding the condition of the book and or the dust jacket. I will be listing these books over the next few months. Books include picture books, early reader books, juvenile/young adult, pop-up books, books on children’s literature, etc. Will be happy to combine multiple purchases.
