    Description

    Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat. [New York]: Random House, [1957].

    First edition, first Issue. Octavo. 62 pages. With illustrations by the author.

    Light staining to pictorial paper boards. Wear to edges and corners. Light bumping to foot of spine at the rear joint. Inoffensive pencil scribble to last printed page. Dust jacket is rubbed and worn along edges; small chips at folds and a three-inch closed tear along fore-edge of front flap. Binding is a little loose, but, overall, this children's classic is in very good condition and meets all first edition points ("200/200" on front flap, unglazed boards, and rear cover showing educator's reviews with no mention of the Beginner Books series).
