Description: The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, First Edition, First Printing (with all points), Original Dust Jacket (price-clipped), Random House, 1957, 61 pp, 9.25 x 6.75". In good condition. Dust jacket is beautifully preserved with bright and clean colors & very minimal scuffing to edges/corners. DJ is price-clipped, however. Edges of boards are lightly scuffed & edges worn. Head and tail of spine bumped. All points are met for a first edition: (1) boards are a matte finish, not glossy; (2) pages are sown in a single signature instead of multiple - see photo #4; (3) Reviews on rear cover do not mention Beginner's Book series; and (4) dust jacket was previously covered with a black-edged jacket protector, which has left marks on the binding and the end-papers as well as causing a small paper pull on the rear end-page - see photos #s 19 & 20. Light toning throughout text-block. Some instances of finger-soiling along fore-edge. No known previous ownership signature or marginalia. Binding tight and intact. Please see photo and ask questions, if any, before purchasing. A beloved childhood classic, with an original dust jacket in excellent condition. It is rare to see the dust jacket of a children's book to be this clean and intact, especially The Cat in the Hat. Although scuff marks usually decrease value, the scuff marks present in this edition help to identify this is a true first edition. Presents very well, gift worthy. RAREA1957KQTJ11/23 - HK914
