SEUSS Dr / Green Eggs and Ham 1st Edition 1960

Description: Green Eggs and Ham Author: SEUSS, Dr Title: Green Eggs and Ham Publication: New York: Random House / Beginner Books, 1960 Edition: First Edition Description: First Edition. Hardcover. Large octavo, 62pp., illustrated. Just about very good in the publisher's printed boards. Some rubbing to the bottom edges, as often, with a tiny stress crack at one corner. Two owner's names erased on the front paste-down, and the erasure has slightly discolored that area of the yellow endpapers. In the rare first-issue dust jacket, bearing the 195/195 price, and which has very evident sticker ghost below the printed "I can read it all by myself" design (the first issue had a sticker which read "50 word vocabulary." While that sticker is missing here, the ghost is evidence that it was once here. Besides, in later issues, the publisher simply printed the sticker design on the dust jacket.) Jacket in very good condition, with some short closed tears, mild creasing, and shallow wear to the spine ends; less than is often seen. Uncommon true first printing of this landmark book by Dr. Seuss, which has never gone out of print. Random House's publisher, Bennet Cerf, had bet Seuss that he couldn't write a whole children's book with just 50 words, and Seuss met the challenge with "Green Eggs and Ham." Younger and Hirsch, pp. 75-76. Very good- / very good.
