I Have Just Noticed This Childhood Classic,

is for sale,


The House at Pooh Corner, published in London by Methuen 1928,

and comes it is own slipcase, size: 8" by 5" 

the book was written by A. A. Milne, and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard,

this is a beautifully bound first edition copy of A A Milne's noted story collection 'House at Pooh Corner',

the book is in a custom binding by The Cottage Bindery, Bath, with their stamp to the rear endpaper, and still seems to be in business,

this first edition of this work is a finely bound, extremely clean copy of this beloved children's work, internally the work remains unblemished, externally, in an excellent condition, just a few light marks to boards, as is common with vellum, not to be confused with skiver, as I was taught in the booking section of the print company where I was indentured for 5 years,

'The House at Pooh corner' is the second volume of stories written about Winnie the Pooh and this volume introduces us to one more of the characters we all know and love so well, Tigger, how many children have been enthralled by the Winnie the Poo books? almost countless, this fine copy for sale at Rooke Books for £4,250.00, if I only had the money!
