Size: 5x0x8; This copy is a fifth printing of the first edition, with the same cover art as the first printing (does not match stock photo), but produced after the Newberry win, so it also has the Newberry medal added to DJ design. Black cloth with blue spine titling, very good with slight fading to an area of the back panel, beneath a chip in the dust jacket; lightly bumped spine ends. Spine square. Binding sound. Dust jacket good only with aforementioned chip at top edge of back panel, about 1.5 x 2.5-inches, with occasional closed tears along the other edges and light scuffing / shelf-wear. Pages clean and bright, text unmarked.

Second printing with number row ending in 2. Black cloth boards, very light shelf wear; boards warp outwards ever so slightly. Minor wear and handling soil to dust jacket; a couple short closed tears; no major tears or chips; $7.95 price intact; Newberry Medal on front; jacket a little stretched from previous brodart with paper backing, now in non-backed brodart. Inside clean, no inscriptions or foxing, etc. Happy to send pics.

Scarce first printing in jacket. Includes book, signed postcard, envelope addressed by Paterson, and signed pamphlet. Book is Fine with just a touch of rubbing to tips, whitening the dark cloth. Interior perfectly clean, crisp, unmarked. No handling noted. Beautiful copy. Dust jacket with a bit of chipping to tips and two tears to back panel, one about an inch and the other about one-fourth inch. Some dust, but really, for a jacket that is mostly white, it is quite clean and presents very well. The original $7.95 price is intact on front flap, and there are no medal stickers attached. Laid in are three items: 1) An author's biography/bibliography put out by Dutton and Penguin Putnam; this is inscribed and signed by Paterson. Creased from folding in half, no other damage. 2) A postcard, addressed to same person as the brochure "& his dad." Paterson thanks them for their letter and explains she is sending this postcard in lieu of a "proper reply" with the gist being that she needs the time to write her current book. She addressed this postcard by ended up including it, along with the folded brochure, in the last item: 3) An envelope with Paterson's name and address pre-printed and addressed to the same person as the pamphlet and postcard.
