Racketty-Packetty House.
/Harrison Cady, illustrator
New York: The Century Company, 1906/1906, Nov. 1906, 1st; light turquoise blue boards with blindstamped border, as issued, and dark blue titles, with set-in plate of either Meg or Peg or Kilmenskeg living in the sparrow's nest; 5x6.5; 130 pp.
Juvenile Hardback small.
CONDITION: Very Good Plus; no names or other marks. Yes, the binding really is that colour; it has been covered, probably since this book was first purchased, and so is fine: corners sharp with just tiny rubs to tips, decorative stamping crisp on boards, plate very nice, cloth light bright blue with a slight yellow cast, spine medium blue; endpapers show shadow of former cover; one opening showing tiny bit of thread, but not net, a couple of margin smudges, plates very nice. Clearly read and extremely well cared for.
