The inside covers and end papers form the same color illustration. The front cover creaks a tiny bit when you open it wide. I'm not seeing any cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages or between the covers and end papers. The book is pretty square and it is solidly bound from cover to cover. The black lettering on the front and spine is quite bright. There is rub-through at all four corners and there is rubbing at the edges. There's also rub-through at both spine ends. ![]() There is a tear (perhaps mended/glued at some point) on the front side of the spine. There's also a small loss on the rear side of the spine just off the bottom edge. There are a few penned jags on the rear cover. There's a shallow groove above the front bottom corner. They are pretty clean, a bit of light soiling. I believe this to be a very early printing: publisher's green cloth, with a closed-mouth fish on the cover and a three-line copyright statement with 1947 the only date stated. ![]()
