THURBER, James. The 13 Clocks. Illustreret af Mark [sic] Simont. NY: Simon & Schuster [1950]. 8vo, 124 sider. Rød klædebind med sort prægning på ryggen, blå teksturerede klædeomslag med sort præget illustration. Farveillustrerede forsatsblade; farveillustrationer gennem hele bogen. Let slid ved rygender og nederste kant, et par svage pletter på bagsiden af forsatsbladene (sandsynligvis fra noget, der har været placeret imellem dem), ellers et fint eksemplar i originalt farveillustreret smudsomslag (let krølning ved rygender og hjørner). Signeret af forfatteren, James Thurber, og med en exlibris signeret af kunstneren, Marc Simont, indlagt!

 

Førsteudgave. Thurbers sublimt lunefulde eventyr om forhindret kærlighed har glædet generationer af læsere, og Marc Simonts fortryllende farveillustrationer løfter virkelig denne bog til den klassikerstatus, den fortjener.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Miles A. ★★★★★

The blue textured cloth covers with the pictorial stamping are even more striking in person, and Marc Simont's illustrations inside are crisp and charming. This copy arrived in far better shape than I expected for a book from 1950, and the pages are clean with no musty smell at all.

Hazel Z. ★★★★★

The red cloth spine with black stamping looks fantastic on the shelf, and the pictorial stamping on the covers really gives it that vintage 1950s charm. This copy arrived in solid shape for its age, pages clean and binding tight, a nice find for any Thurber collector.

Andrew T. ★★★★★

The blue textured cloth covers with the pictorial stamping are even more charming in person, and Marc Simont’s illustrations inside are crisp and delightful. The binding feels sturdy for a 1950 first edition, which is exactly what I hoped for in a signed copy.
