Straightening up my shelves today, I came across this one, which a lot of you are reading now. This is a pretty battered, dust-jacket-less first American edition, with the lovely, lovely endpapers by Robert Lawson and illustrations done by White. I‘m not sure why they leave them out of other editions because they‘re quite wonderful, although they‘re much simpler line drawings. #TOAFK #OAFKingalong

Aimeesue @Suet624 Old books fascinate me. They were so well made and have lasted so long. I wonder whose shelves they‘ve been sitting on all this time. 12mo
Aimeesue @AvidReader25 I like to take him out and admire him from time to time because he‘s so pretty. Is that shallow?😆 (edited) 12mo

AvidReader25 @Aimeesue No way! I would too! 12mo
Aimeesue @Suet624 Right? My husband likes all the shiny new things and occasionally tries to get me to "update" appliances, etc. Nope. No Thanks. I‘ll stick with my 25 year old food processor that has a motor that actually works, thanks. ? 12mo
Aimeesue @AvidReader25 im glad it‘s not just me! 😁 12mo
