This linen book is absolutely adorable. Pictures are the best way to assess a book's condition, and we never want to crease a book by opening it fully, which is why our photos are not always straight.
A treasure for a vintage children's book collector, or a sweet gift for a nursery.
Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin, was one of the leading American publishers of inexpensive children's books in the 1930s and 1940s, known for its Big Little Books and many other titles for young readers. Linen books were made to survive small hands, which makes a copy that has come through intact with its pages and illustrations all the more notable.
