Scarce 1925 DELUXE 1st Edition - When We Were Very Young - A A Milne - Winnie
Item History & Price
When We Were Very Young
By
A A Milne
Methuen & Co, London - 1925
DELUXE First Edition
**Scarce & Collectable**
I am delighted to offer for auction an original DELUXE First Edition of the scarce Milne book ' When We Were Very Young'. Published in 1925 this Deluxe version differs from the trade first that is usually seen as it has the ornately decorated soft leather binding and was published in much fewer numbers . There were four original Pooh books r...unning between 1924-1928 followed on by The Christopher Robin Story Book in 1929. All of the books had a limited number of Deluxe versions published with a limited print run hence the desirability. The stories and characters are still much loved the world over today and this book is the one of the most charming collections of children's poems written. A delight for the collector and worthy of any shelf.
Book Info: When We Were Very Young, Methuen, London 1925: DELUXE First Edition. The book is bound in the original decorated red soft leather covers. The deluxe versions were published in much fewer numbers than the trade counterpart so are quite difficult to come by. The binding is poor with damage to the spine strip a and near detached rear board (see photos). Internally clean and bright but cracked through due to the spine damage so very fragile only just holding. It could be strengthened along the spine etc i'm sure but would need a more expert hand than mine. That said it's still a nice thing and is beautifully illustrated throughout by E H Shepard.
Good luck with this one and be sure to check out my other items as i have some other incredible books listed. I have other Milne titles listed + others including SIGNED Harry Potter first editions with Rowling's Hologram etc
Why not add me to your favourite seller list as i will be running some large, exciting auctions from the end of October right up until Christmas. Thanks : )
Happy to post worldwide.
