THURBER, James. The 13 Clocks. Ilustrado por Mark [sic] Simont. NY: Simon & Schuster [1950]. 8vo, 124 pp. Lomo de tela roja estampado en negro con cubiertas de tela texturizada azul estampadas en negro. Guardas ilustradas a color; ilustraciones a color en todo el libro. Extremos del lomo y borde inferior ligeramente rozados, algunas manchas claras en las guardas traseras (probablemente por haber colocado algo entre ellas), por lo demás un ejemplar excelente en su sobrecubierta ilustrada original (ligero doblez en los extremos del lomo y las esquinas). ¡Firmado por el autor, James Thurber, e incluye una exlibris firmada por el artista, Marc Simont!

 

Primera edición. El cuento de hadas sublimemente caprichoso de Thurber sobre el amor postergado ha deleitado a generaciones de lectores, y las encantadoras ilustraciones a todo color de Marc Simont elevan verdaderamente este libro al estatus de clásico que merece.

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.
