THURBER, James. The 13 Clocks. Ilustrasi oleh Mark [sic] Simont. NY: Simon & Schuster [1950]. 8vo, 124 hal. Sampul kain merah dengan cetakan hitam di punggung, sampul kain biru bertekstur dengan cetakan bergambar hitam. Kertas ujung bergambar warna; ilustrasi warna di seluruh halaman. Ujung punggung dan tepi bawah sedikit tergores, beberapa noda ringan di kertas ujung belakang (mungkin karena ada sesuatu yang diletakkan di antaranya), selain itu salinan bagus dalam jaket debu bergambar warna asli (sedikit lipatan di ujung punggung dan sudut). Ditandatangani oleh penulis, James Thurber, dan dengan plat buku yang ditandatangani oleh seniman, Marc Simont, disisipkan!

 

Edisi pertama. Dongeng fantasi Thurber yang sangat unik tentang cinta yang tertunda telah memikat banyak generasi pembaca, dan ilustrasi warna penuh yang mempesona dari Marc Simont benar-benar mengangkat buku ini ke status klasik yang layak diterimanya.

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.
