Where The Sidewalk Ends By Shel Silverstein W/ Gypsies Poem
Item History & Price
Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein ~ Hardcover ~ Early Printing w/ Original Gypsy Poem
Published by Harper & Row, 1974
The Gypsies are Coming on pg. 50The Giving Tree on rear DJ
1174 code on DJ
The book is price clipped with no first edition statement so I can't be sure if it's the second printing ($8.95) or third printing ($9.95) but it's one of those because it still has the original, "The Gypsies are Coming" poem on page 50 before it was changed to, "The Go...ogies are Coming" in subsequent printings because of pressure put on the publisher for racial stereotyping. A very early example of political correctness in popular culture. The DJ has a fold on the bottom front cover and there's a gift inscription from the original owner but no other marks or writing inside. A great collectible version of this classic book. I package with care and ship in boxes.
