MILNE,  A. A. WINNIE-THE-POOH. [New York]: E. P. Dutton &  Company
(1926).  First  Edition.  First American Edition  of  this  children's
classic  with  illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard. This copy has  been
beautifully  rebound in full rust calf by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with
a  gilt  depiction  on the front cover of Christopher  Robin  dragging
Pooh  down  the  stairs and a gilt Christopher Robin standing  on  the
rear  cover.  There  are also gilt depictions of other  characters  in
each  corner  of both covers as well as on the spine, with  all  edges
gilt.  Unfortunately, this copy suffered some water damage in the past
that  has  left  a stain on the bottom of both covers, moreso  on  the
rear  which  extends about a third of the way up. The first  and  last
few  pages exhibit only a very faint dampstain. Despite this and  some
rubbing  along the spine edges, the book still presents well and would
make a fine gift. Very Good, handsomely bound.                 $500.00
