Hardback 12o in publishers' clothbacked, pictorial, paper binding. No dust jacket, as issued. Fresh boards with minimal marks and a small, weak spot. Unusually bright and fresh spine with the text in black completely intact. Corners with minimal wear. Inside front board up a name scribbled with crayon. Margins as always mildly browned due to the paper. P. 13 with a circle after a glass. Still a bright copy, better than average, of this third book in the series of three of Pippi Longstocking.
