Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Eight Nursery Tales, edited by Watty Piper (the well-known house pseudonym of Platt & Munk), presents eight classic stories accompanied by bright, full-color and black-and-white illustrations typical of the publisher's premium 1930s children's line. This edition features vivid artwork printed on thick, high-quality early Platt & Munk paper, as well as charming illustrated blue-ink endpapers showing a parade of familiar nursery characters. A well-preserved example of an increasingly scarce pre-war issue. Condition: Near Fine. Original blue cloth pictorial boards are clean and bright with strong black stamping and minimal shelfwear. Spine ends lightly pushed; corners very gently rubbed. Interior clean and crisp with excellent color throughout; no writing or markings. Binding tight and sound. Endpapers fresh with only mild toning at edges. A notably well-kept copy of an edition often found heavily worn. Edition/Printing Diagnostics: Dual copyright dates 1932 and 1938, with no later renewals - a hallmark of the 1938 first edition sheets. Binding in blue pictorial cloth with black stamping, the correct first-issue format. The blue-ink pictorial endpapers match known early Platt & Munk production from 1938-1940; later reprints used cheaper or monochrome endpapers. Typography, paper stock, and illustration style are consistent with pre-WWII printings and differ from later 1940s-1970s versions. While Platt & Munk did not print explicit edition statements, all bibliographic and physical evidence supports First Edition / Early Printing (1938-1940). …
